Some nice tips. I agree, no need to flood a post with ads if its meant for social success. Besides social traffic not converting as well as organic, many social sites (like digg) hate seeing a page covered in ads. It could have a negative impact on that posts success.

@ Everyone These are few basic tips and glad you liked them. I would be happy to write more tips on SU in the coming weeks.

@ Dave, I agree that one should not submit their own posts very often. I have written about that before. Thanks for reminding it though.

Don’t submit your own blog, or at least do it VERY sparingly, and make sure you’re participating in the SU community – rating sites, making friends, reviewing pages… SU is not just about random links – there are many groups and forums. Get involved. SU members love to trash SEO optimizers and spammers, but if you are an active participant, you can direct friends (and thus their circle of friends) back to your blog posts all day long.

Load times are so important. I have noticed a lot of blogs are taking a long time to load these days.

This is something so many people forget to do. They want all this traffic, but when they get it, they’re not ready for it.

The first time I had a page submitted to StumbleUpon, I had over 4000 visitors a day. However, I wasn’t expecting them and I retained only a few loyal readers since I had no RSS links or anything.

If you build it, they might come, but they might not come back unless you have something in place to hook them.

Great ideas.

If you are going to get a flood of traffic, you wan to make a good impression on them PLUS have something for them to do that improves your online business or bottom line.
