Digg vs. StumbleUpon
Written by Hussein on March 26, 2008 – 12:00 am -You must know what digg and stumbleupon is. If not, then you must be an innocent. Ok, for innocents out there who don’t know what I’m talking about, Digg and Stumbleupon is a social bookmarking or networking websites. Is it clear now? If you still don’t understand you must be an alien HaHaHa (just kidding). If still not clear, please consult Google. (Sorry for my words before)
Have you ever thought before the difference of digg and stumbleupon? Of course not the design, instead on how they give traffic to us bloggers and webmasters. Honestly, I got a lot of traffic from stumbleupon whenever I or someone else discover my post. But I hate it because stumbleupon gives me fake traffic. Fake traffic because users come in to my blog then leaving immediately. When I usually stumble my post, I got 500+ unique visits and I can say that only 20% of it reads my blog or leave some helpful and loving comment. So if you have a not that interesting post you must stay away from stumbleupon, you’re just wasting your bandwidth.
In this case, I prefer more digg. Digg gives 90% loving visitors. Why did I said that? Unlike stumbleupon that users don’t know what website they are viewing because they are just clicking the “Stumble!” button that gives random pages, digg users have rights to view or not to view post. If they find the title and description very interesting, they will click the link wherein they will not be sent to random page instead to the page they are really looking for. Are you getting what I mean?

I agree, I do the same with stumble. I just keep on clicking the stumble button and land on a random page but rarely stay there. Where as Digg I will click a title that gets my interest.

Well, if there are more choices besides from the two mentioned above, I would not choose digg and stumbleupon. But if there is no more choices then, i would choose digg.
Why Digg? Digg has pros and cons actually. Digg presents you or allows you to view what has been submitted by Digg users, you view pages that people have viewed or you can make your own page for people to view, bottomline, you beg for site traffic for a catchy blog title, niche or blog post description.
Why I don’t like Digg? I like Google better, I searched for pages indexed by Google algorithm and not the ones submitted by users, If I am going to search for blog post, I would prefer http://blogsearch.google.com/ for targetted pages, but for site traffic needs regardless of visitor’s loyalty, Digg is a better choice than Stumbleupon.
My two pesos.

I found I received a lot of “fake” traffic from Stumble as well. My traffic from Google is picking up, and I’ve found more interest from traffic sourced there.

Visitors from Digg are more stable on my blog rather than stumble … but still many ppl prefer SU for Traffic to their sites or blogs …
Digg users come to our site by attractive title and which they think to b visited. I like to prefer and recommend Digg
