<p><a href="http://stumbleupon.com">StumbleUpon</a> can be an enormous traffic generator for bloggers and marketers. I use it all the time. And I just tested what I call the StumbleUpon Two-Step technique of driving traffic, and it also worked well to drive traffic. Let&#8217;s review how I did it.</p>
<p>Recently I launched a PRWEB <a href="http://www.prweb.com/releases/1969/12/prweb569538.htm?tag=donation">release about Holiday For Charity</a>. In the release, I had links back to <a href="http://www.my-creativeteam.com/blog/?p=490">my blog</a> for additional details about the story. I used these tags in the release: holiday, charity, cause marketing, charitable giving, holiday for charity, holiday spending, donation, gift, ad agency, and pr firm.</p>
<p>A month after launching the release, I gave it a thumbs up on StumbleUpon, placed it in the  living category and used the cause marketing and charity tags. I had 118 &#8211; and still counting &#8211; visits referred by that Stumbled url.  Based on my PRWEB statistics for the release, I had more than 200 visits from Stumblers on the day I thumbed it up. So, a very high percentage of visitors to the release made the leap to my blog, too.</p>
<p>I have some ideas to test that may bring even more traffic by the two-step method. Do you have any ideas on how to use this or other Stumble techniques? Post your thoughts.</p>
