If you haven’t tried out the social network StumbleUpon, I would highly recommend it. Last month one of the sites that I manage had over 15,000 unique visitors from StumbleUpon. Have you heard of the “Digg” effect? You know, when you get so much traffic that it brings down your server? Well, our server went down twice and we received 6500 uniques in one morning. It probably won’t be too long before people start referring to the “Stumble” effect.

Unlike a number of social sites like Digg, Reddit etc. where your chances of ever breaking into the first page are slim to none, on StumbleUpon every site has a fighting chance. The community is also set up way better than most social sites, allowing users to blog, post images and Stumble other user’s “blogs”.

You’ll need to download and install the StumbleUpon toolbar to enjoy the full features, but it’s definitely worth it. I have found that I am using the StumbleUpon toolbar almost as much as the Google toolbar… Well, maybe not that much. Stumbling lets you browse through sites that people have ranked instead of what an algorithm says is important. It’s the most refreshing service/site that I’ve experienced on the internet in a long time.

Ok, ok, Wikipedia has relevant content, I get it. But come on, do they have to take over Google? I’m seeing them in the top ten for almost everything. How about giving the real sites a fighting chance instead of a site that talks about stuff.

Imagine link trading so easy that it is just a decision making process. Imagine facilitating and managing all your link trades: reciprocal, triangle (3 way) and parallel. Imagine an advanced link checker that checks all these trades. Imagine being able to dynamically change all your link titles and descriptions on all your link partner’s sites at once. Imagine all you backlinks are contextual links that look more natural and more like a blog format. Imagine managing all your websites in one account. Imagine a link trading system that is going to change the industry as we know it.

Ok, enough imagining. The fact of the matter is that LavaLinx has all these things and more and is currently open for beta. If you’ve done any link trading at all, you’ll be extremely pleased with the LavaLinx system. If search marketing is your profession, you’ll want to get in LavaLinx and get it going before your competition finds out about it.

LavaLinx. The future of link trading.
