How to Get More Traffic on Lead Maverick

While Lead Maverick is built to optimize your pages for more traffic and higher conversion rates than traditional web pages, there are still things you can do to enhance your visibility.

StumbleUpon

This unique service allows people literally stumble upon your pages. By submitting pages to StumbleUpon you are offering it up as a page that users of StumbleUpon will randomly be taken to while "stumbling". Stumbling is just the process of clicking "Stumble" and being shown a random page that was submitted. The great part about this is it can send you a lot of quick traffic. On average I see 10,000% increases in traffic. The downside is that the traffic is short lived - often only one day. The other downside is that these "stumblers" are clicking through sites until they find something really interesting so the bounce rate is way up there around 90%.

Another thing to take note of when submitting your pages is that submitting too often will decrease the value of your submissions and you’ll see less traffic. From StumbleUpon's perspective if you are submitting quality content from different domains on a regular basis then you’ll begin to see your traffic even out, rather than taking a dive each time you submit a page.

Digg

Almost the same information above can be said for Digg. Build up your Digg reputation by submitting quality content from all around the web, build a core of loyal friends, and submit only your best pages. Keep in mind that Digg generally helps newsworthy and buzzworthy pages rather than product advertisements and company biographies.

Digg won’t send you the easy, quick traffic StumbleUpon will…in most cases. If you’re lucky enough to have produced some great content that people love then the page will get voted up and up and up and could eventually send you hundreds of thousands of visitors. It isn’t rare that pages that are dugg enough times take down an entire site! Don’t worry though; Lead Maverick can take a punch or two.

Hard Work

Often the producer of great success is hard work, unfortunately. Great success is worth it though. So here’s a tip.

The great article you spent all day researching, tailoring, and babying has just been posted to Lead Maverick. Take your remaining time (you know, after you submit it to Digg and StumbleUpon) to find some blogs related to your topic. Try to find blogs that look like they actually get traffic and have an active community. Do they have comments on their posts? If not, move on.

Once you've found a few blogs leave them comments letting them know you just wrote up a detailed article on their topic of interest. Don’t sound spammy though. Looking like a real person goes a long way in gaining the trust of that blog's writer and readers.
