How to get traffic from stumbleupon, Digg and similar websites

2 days ago my websites got 34,000 hits on the same day, the main source of traffic was a news website that wrote an article about one of the sections I had in my website.

I usually get 13,000 hit/day and even though the 34,000 hits/day were almost three times the traffic I get yet they didn’t result in generating any additional sales nor have they brought me any benefits other than few more adsense dollars.

But why? Simply because those people are not in my target market nor are they interested in the topics I write about but just arrived to my site occasionally through the feature article they were reading.

Are traffic spikes really useful?

Unless the spike comes from a website that is related to yours or a website that has visitors who are interested in your content then the spike isn’t going to be of any use.

When people who aren’t interested in your content visit your site they will leave before browsing to the next page and your bounce rate will increase. The bounce rate of my website is 1.6 percent, which means that out of every 100 person who visits my site only one person leaves without visiting another page, however, when I get such traffic spikes the bounce rate jumps which reflects the fact that the wrong users are visiting my website and that traffic spikes are in most cases useless.

So how can you make use of this information?

Don’t depend on social networking websites or social book marking websites for traffic unless they allow you to access the niche you want.

Even social book marking websites that allows you to categorize a page before you submit it will still send the wrong visitors to your page most of the time.

If you want to bring loyal visitors to your website and if you want to have a really popular website then forget about traffic spikes and try to build consistent traffic that only involves people who are interested in your content and this can only happen by depending on search engines for your traffic.
