StumbleUpon.com is a great place to score a ton of traffic to your blog, blog posts, web site and web pages. Unfortunately though, a lot of people insist on believing that stumbleUpon traffic is useless traffic. I’ll agree to some extent, it can be useless if you’re not properly taking advantage of the exposure. However, the truth of the matter couldn't be any more opposite. The question to ask yourself is this, "How Can I Harness The Power of StumbleUpon Traffic?" I aim to answer that question in this free report and I also aim to provide you with a solution to the common complaint about how StumbleUpon traffic simply doesn't convert into money. The cycle of this process is very simple. What typically happens is bloggers will write something really cool or interesting and have it submitted into StumbleUpon resulting in thousands and thousands of visits in a very short, clustered and quick time frame. The problem that people face is that the content or the theme of the story being submitted into StumbleUpon isn’t something that generates sales, leads or even Google AdSense clicks for that matter. Many people feel like it is utterly useless traffic that does nothing but waste bandwidth. While I’ll agree with this an an extent, I am also going to disagree. With this free report free report I will explain to you, and most importantly, show you how you can make money online using StumbleUpon.com.
StumbleUpon Traffic Eventually Leads to PageRank
The key to my strategy is PageRank. Of all the pages that I have personally submitted into StumbleUpon, very commonly I see multiple people turn right around and write a post about what I stumbled on their own blogs. These are backlinks. Backlinks are important towards building up PageRank. The more PageRank an individual page has, the more authority and power it will have in delivering backlinks to other pages that are more important to you (i.e. pages that DO make you money). The first step in this strategy is getting it out of your head that the ACTUAL StumbleUpon traffic will make you money. On that aspect, you are right. However, once you understand that the pages that you do
submit into StumbleUpon can grow and develop into a PageRank powerhouse, then you will start to see the light on how I make money online with StumbleUpon. As you know, StumbleUpon traffic does not convert into leads, sales or even Google AdSense clicks. However, it is in the actions of other Stumblers that will eventually lead to you making money. I agree with you, who cares about the “Burst Fire” flood of traffic that you get from StumbleUpon. The only thing that StumbleUpon traffic does is suck your server system resources and eats up your bandwidth. Is this really all that happens? On the surface of things, one would believe so; However, If you want to make money online with StumbleUpon.com, you have to consider the value of StumbleUpon traffic. While it is obvious that many people already know that the actual traffic doesn’t convert, it is, however, the upcoming weeks and months that you should be concerned with. The strategy with making money online using StumbleUpon is in creatively writing content that is geared towards a high concentration among Stumblers who will link to the pages that you submit, while also balancing another strategy in future link building to other pages that will make you money from the original pages that were submitted into StumbleUpon. While on the surface most people quickly reject the idea of using StumbleUpon as a means for making money online, I am here to tell you that it can be the best thing since the invention of the wheel.
How Do You Put Your Link Building Plan Into Action?
When you write content for the purpose of getting Stumbled, write your content in a way that carefully uses keywords and phrases that you can eventually use to link to other relevant pages that will make you money. The StumbleUpon traffic wave typically only lasts a few days. By then Google will have already crawled and indexed you page. A day or two later, Google will have also crawled all the pages from the other bloggers who have pointed links to your post that was submitted into Stumbleupon. Google keeps a tally on the number of pages that link to others and in due time, your page (the on you submitted into StumbleUpon) will become very powerful and will eventually attain PageRank. Many of the pages that I have submitted into StumbleUpon have resulted in having a PageRank of 4 and even PR5! If you carefully write your post to include targetable keywords, after a week when the Stumble traffic dies down to nothing, you can simply go back and edit the post, plugging those few selected keywords with links that point other pages that you have created for the purpose of making money. In due time, because so many people pointed links to the original post you submitted into StumbleUpon, that page will eventually earn PageRank. Pages that earn PageRank establish authority. With the pages that are linked from the original page with PageRank, these too will eventually earn PageRank. So when you submit your post into StumbleUpon, do so in a way where you know that in about 7 days you can go back to plug in links that point to other pages that really count in making money. Because you linked to those money making pages from the page that is soon to be established with PageRank, those additional money making pages will go for the ride as well. In the end, you will have created powerful pages that have relevant keywords that you use use to point links to other pages. These other pages (the pages geared towards making money) will in return rank very well in Google because they have backlinks from powerful pages (the pages you submitted into StumbleUpon).
Just to recap how all of this works: These "Powerful Pages" will become powerful because you submitted them into StumbleUpon. When you go back to these pages and plug links into it that point to other pages that pitch products or other things that make money, these additional pages built for making money online will end up ranking very well in the search engines because they have powerful backlinks from the original page you submitted into StumbleUpon. Soon once these additional pages establish their own PageRank they will then start receiving targeted traffic direct from Google and other search engines. So you see, this process isn't something that will happen over night. One of the keys of being successful in making money online is understanding that time can be used to your benefit.

A Brief Biography about Garry Conn
How often are you put into a situation where you have to write about yourself? I find humor in that, because it is quite challenging to write about myself. Part of the reason why it is difficult is the fact that I think many people have the expectation to hear me claim to be some kind of superstar or extremely wealthy individual. The truth of the matter is that I am really not much different than you. We both have jobs and we both go to work everyday. However, you might have the desire to change jobs and do what I do either part-time or as your full-time career. There is nothing wrong with that, but make no mistake... you don't consider yourself to be a superstar because of the line of work you do, nor do I consider myself to be a superstar for the line of work I do. With that said, I really enjoy knowing how much I help people. For me, that is very rewarding and it is a sensation not many Internet marketers experience. In fact, I often wonder how many Internet marketers sleep at night. With that said, I'll tell you a little more about myself. At the time of writing this free report, I am 31 years old. I am married and have four wonderful children. We live in Tennessee and own a typical house and drive a typical mini-van. I have a home office that I use to work out of. Sometimes I trip over a few of my kid's toys to get to my desk and when I am not working, I provide a free and volunteer taxi service for my kids, transporting them to their sporting events and after school activities. As I said, all that might not be a superstar, but some would consider that to be a superman. But, I believe that every dad should be expected to be a superman for their kids and nothing less. I have been working online building web sites since 1997. My first web site was created using Microsoft FrontPage. Soon there after, I learned HTML and began to build web sites from scratch using my trusty copy of Notepad. Fast forward a few more years, and today I use WordPress to build niche blogs. My primary source of online income is generated using Google AdSense. As I continue to develop and enhance my skills, I am also actively working towards diversifying my sources of income. I hope that you found this free report helpful. This is a strategy that I use on a regular basis towards building individual pages that I use to feed links to other pages I am trying to develop towards ranking well in the search engines. These pages commonly promote affiliate based products.
