Social Media Traffic - Monday

Monday kicked off a new week and another social media experiment. This week we are using an article called Shopping for Tents to measure what social media sites sent traffic to the blog post.

We posted the blog article late Friday and then spent most of today submitting the article to the 30+ social media sites listed below. Even using Social Poster this process still took a couple of hours to complete. The up-side is that we now have the username Social Media on almost every social media blog:)

So what sites sent traffic on day one? Well as expected StumbleUpon and Reddit led the way. Reddit surprised me with the amount of traffic it sent during last weeks social media experiment and it looks like they will do the same again this week. Anyone putting together a social media marketing campaign needs to consider having StumbleUpon and Reddit.

The following sites all sent traffic:

  • Stumbleupon.com - 117 Visits
  • Reddit.com – 26 Visits
  • Digg.com -3 Visits
  • Indianpad.com – 1 Visit
  • Newsvine.com – 1 Visit

The page has not been picked up by Google or Yahoo yet. Based on last week’s data I would expect that to happen by Wednesday.

Check back tomorrow for Tuesday’s social media sites traffic report!
