Blue Hat SEO-Advanced SEO Tactics

My suggestion is to put this code in your site’s footer. That way the page can load before they see the box. This way they’ll want to click the OK button to move on but the thought of leaving a stumblereview or a digg is on their mind.

I would prefer to use a div near the top of the page containing the message rather than an alert as I’m sure a lot of users would find that annoying!

I’ve been using this for around a year, it works wonders, especially with stumbleupon.

Cheers,

Duane.

All though some people may find it annoying, others will think it is cool that you are “a part” of their community.

An intresting post after quite some time. Eli, Are you trying to rank high for “Music” ? The site footer says so.

:: Am I the only CGIer left in this world?
No

Nice one Eli, it’s a good idea - out of interest, why is it $sites[’stumbleupon’] instead of $sites[’stumbleupon.com’] (considering the code uses ‘digg.com’ instead of ‘digg’) - I feel like I’m missing something incredibly obvious.

well well a post from eli out of the blue and after a long time.

Seen some sites using it and always scares the crap out of me.Hey are u tracking me?
Just kidding

As you say stumbleupon brings some traffic love but depends on the website content though for digg users, I believe.

More posts eli, more posts.

I’ve used this method before for usability and greeting users from particular search engines (a la google) with their exact search phrase on the page. Helped with conversions.

Thanks Eli, I too wish you could post more because it’s always so interesting!

Ah, thanks for the Stumbleupon code. I have been trying to get some type of Digg/Stumble links at the bottom on my comment bar.

Use ne instead of != for string comparisons in Perl.

There is also a simple WP plugin for you lazies.

Increase Sociability Plugin

Been using OpenX to do the same thing (as well as the Increse Sociability plugin) and seen some pretty damn impressive results with Stumble Upon (but not Digg or Reddit) across a few sites.

Thanks man really liked this code in my blog.

I recommend doing it with JS instead of with PHP code, so that when you do get dugg you don’t have that PHP code executing for each user.

WP Greet Box is a great plugin which does just that =)

Thanks for the post… I had a similar script setup for my ’stumblers’ but I never though of Digg. (Or other social bookmarking traffic, for that matter) Pimpin’.

I like it. I may test this on one of my sites today. Thanks Eli!

Eli,

Another awesome post. I’d like to give it a try and see what happens.

If you are looking for another fun thing to make in the future… how about a CSS split tester? Serves up different CSS to different users and sees which converts better?

Thanks, Brad

Great to see you back posting, I’ll test it on a few sites, sounds like an awesome idea.

You’re probably right, the Stumble crowd will be much more likely to be receptive. It really depends on the quality of your traffic, more tech savvy crowd would probably perform pretty well with Diggs.

your script is very usefull

Thank you

Thanks for the code. It really works. If I were you i will place it at the bottom of the page. You ROCK!!.

For a free in post link anyone want to donate the JS version of this?

Another great idea. Thanks for sharing.
I agree, I think a lot of people would be willing to do this because of the community feel that it adds.

This is cool. Thanks Eli . Am going off to experiment with it now.

Very cool Eli. Not sure I understand it. But very cool. Read your Black Hole Seo articles today. Even more confused.

great tricks you have there

cheers

Here’s what I’ve done with it - http://img386.imageshack.us/img386/7651/stumbleuponjw4.jpg

I’m definitely going to give this a try on my site, to see what results I get.

I found stuble could bring huge traffic. However, I did not get the reasons.

Thanks for the code Eli, I’ll be putting it on my four blogs tonite.

:) i’ll try it on all my blogs n sites
hope will success.
thanks friend.

Thanks for the mention about Increase Socialability (the wordpress plugin) that does the same.

On a number of times I’ve gotten the maximum number of positive votes.

Hey Eli,

Have you seen any results from this yet?

Also, can’t you do a javascript alert on page close?

Good Idea I loved it.
I think you should put this text in large font at a noticeable place of your page.

It seems it will used alot from now on,

I put it into an HTML/Javascript gadget in blogspot - will that work?

sometimes i just come here to get a buzz, lol
all the code. phew

Haven’t been on your site for some time now, but I’m glad I stoped by today…nice code…thanks.

By the way, what happened to the SEO empire 2

Thanks Eli

Adding to the fun of USER_AGENT! good one man.
Thanks

So i’m trying to install this onto my wordpress blog, but it’s not working . . does anyone else have this problem?

I think I have that plugin installed - not sure if it’s working though

I tried this but I am not seeing any visitors at all from digg etc???

Thanks for providing those useful tricks and codes. Interesting post.

Hey Eli,

Thanks for the StumbleUpon code. Very useful.

Thnks for nice trick! I`m going to try it right now!

Annoying them with a reminder might cause some to downvote your content.

I’m most definitely going include this in my SEO efforts, maybe it will help. Thank you so much.

Awesome script, I’ll be using this on my clients.

Interesting tips..well worth trying out.

Long time no new post!

Awesome script. Can’t seem to get it to work though.. thanks for sharing anyway!

Any comment on the SEOMoz blog post that Stumble is nofollow? Is this new?

link

Great idea, would like to try this this out. Is there any extra benefit in which code is used?

Good syntax, it will help on on page optimization.

Thanks for this valuable syntax.

Thank you so much for the good syntax that you shared to us. Keep it up.

bloomin fantastic idea.

Cheers mate,
John

Great trick indeed. I like it very much. So simple and so effective for visitors. Thanks for sharing.

Thank for great php stript. It’s very nice coding style.

Thank you so much for the great share! I will surely this out.

Nice script, Eli. And no, you’re not the only cgier left :p

Now how about that SEO Empire two post

Can everyone digg this for me? http://digg.com/tech_news/BlackHatWorld_Rocks_3

Neat code, thanks. I will try this.

Cool Idea, The alert javascript pop-up box should definatly get you some digs, Is there no way you can add the DIGG button inside the actual alert box? That should definatly help

great idea, thanks!

Neat code, thanks.

Wow. That’s much simpler than I ever thought it would be.

It must be getting late. I can’t even type correctly.

Nice idea. Thank you so much.

Excellent! thank you so much for code that you shared.

thanks anyway..

Very smart trick, the question is. Does it work? Adding to my to-try list.

Thanks for the code! I am going to add this to my blog right now

Wow this is really cool, I am wondering if it will be as simple as you say it is, but I do want to try it. Thanks

Awesome post, I’ve done some of this before… would really like to add this and the new wordpress plugin together

oh yea, any thoughts on whether digg or stumble is better for conversions?

I think digg is better for conversions.

Why not use both digg and stumble?

that’s a great article and a nice code. a few days an aricle of mine was stumbled and i got 5000 unique visitors in just one day! i like this all but the only issue is that i think these people are not targeted readers. they come and go… anyway i will try your code!

Nice trick, but of course you will always need good content for it to work

Seen some sites using it and always scares the crap out of me.Hey are u tracking me?
Just kidding

Haha this works like a charm.. It is a bit scary though :p.

Nice trick! I also like digging for conversations. Thanks.

Great post! I’ve never done these things before. I should give it a try.

Very nice post! I will definitely be using these tactics immediately.

I will be very interested to see your results from this addition to word press. I KNOW that it would annoy the hell out of me but I also know that if I really want to see what’s on the page then I do click through. Will be interested to see how it affects repeat traffic as well. Will be giving it a go. Thanks.

FYI This sucks. Don’t do it. Results are decidedly negative as led to all bad reviews from users pissed that a pop up window would intrude on their browsing session to ask for a good review.

Great trick, Will use this to definatly get some “Diggs”

Another great script with awesome results! Thanks!

Thanks for the info.

interesting site it really learns me a lot.

thanks for the information i will apply that.

great post i really like that.

i like to read this kind of site.

Very nice trick that I might use. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the StumbleUpon code. Very useful.

I’ve been using digg for a while, but haven’t messed with SubleUpon yet. I am interested in that Javascript code though.

i got banned from stumbleupon a few months ago.i don’t think i was doing anything wrong.

nice code btw.

Thanks Eli, I very much like it. simple and effective for visitors.

Shortly after reading this post, a couple months back, I installed and activated the Digg/Stumble plugin for WordPress… but I haven’t seen a significant increase in traffic from either.

Has anyone else had noticeable success with this?

Script seems very useful. i havent been tried it yet but i will.Thank you very much!

This will be great. My sites seem to get lots of visits but never get dugg or reviewed on stumble upon.

Hopefully this will prompt people to start getting my sites up the rankings

I like the idea of knocking out the internal links on the Wiki. From my view you really need to be in the top couple of positions for your keyword to justify the effort here, as other wise you are just pushing yourself and all other above you up a place……which if you are down in postion 10-20ish serves little point.

Very cool of you to share this.
My friend sent me this site - I like it

Thanks

wowww.. nice info.. thanks =D

Thank you

Looks..Gr8 I will try it..

I’ve been using this for around a year, it works wonders, especially with stumbleupon.

Thanks man really liked this code in my blog.

I’ve been using this for around a year, it works wonders

@Eli - Thanks for a great idea

@preblogging - Thanks for a great WP Plugin

I will be implementing Digg code on my blog in this weekend and let’s see how it goes for me..

Well I cannot say that implementing Digg in my blog was helpful.

Great info. Im not sure which plugins I would suggest though. Ill have to try them all out first!

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I find Javascript as the best syntax for programing. It’s simpler than Perl, PHP and the others, but also doesn’t require much for its apps to run.

I think that javascript is the way to go for sure! but i like php and css as well. thanks for the post

Javascript is still the simpliest for me, you are right Ruby web!

Love the hacks, thanks so much for sharing this hack to us

No one need CGI right? Hmm don’t know if this are usefull tricks? I mean won’t the stumbler/digger be angry? :X

Does anyone have success with this?

I will add this to my music playlist site ggplaylist

Somewhat off topic, but what are your plans concerning posting on the blog. I have been enjoying you older posts, great stuff. You and Mark from http://www.digeratimarketing.co.uk/ are very eloquent in the way you explain stuff.

Thanks

Pity the newbs…

Try this instead:

you can compare where a user has been to a list of urls and determine if they have visited any by using one of the oldest security holes in web browsers. This has been on the bug list of mozilla since 2003.

use javascript to create an iframe and insert a bunch of links into it (like links to digg and stumble), then use getComputedStyle() to access the style property of each link. visited links will have a different color than unvisited links. compare colors to determine where a user has been.

if you don’t get what i’m talking about or you want to cut to a prepackaged version of this method,
the latest itteration is here:

you have super health. I love really nice blog

Duplicate comment detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that!

Hope this works! Please update us if it’s working fine! I am so excited to get my hands on it!

I Have never used this before but I am about to give it a try. Thanks for the post. I will checking back often so please start posting again. Thanks

that was something I was looking for recently. Many thanks.

Nice plug in hope some SU users find it.

You have got to start posting again. This is just my second post that I have read and I am sold. Screw the chat!

Will add the code right now, thanks!

Even though this post is old I think I am going to give this a whirl. Like mentioned before, I am expecting to have alot better luck with stumbleupon.

Sure this can be nice but you need to have a critical mass of visitors for it to work.

Yes great post and great blog! .. I’ve a real late comer to the social bookmarking side of things.. and yeh it may be an old post but i’m also gonna give it a whirl!.. thanks!

Yes great post and great blog! …My suggestion is to put this code in your site’s footer. That way the page can load before they see the box. This way they’ll want to click the OK button to move on but the thought of leaving a stumblereview or a digg is on their mind.

Ill use this.. Thank you for giving us ideas

neat trick, I like it and will implement it.

Great ideas, adding code now. thanks.

Thanks for the code. These are very helpful.

thanks for code. but don’t understand how it works.
Please explain me

Cool technique but this actually breaks every IE from v6 on. It still works on firefox though.

Hi, im using it. Really good, thanks.

I’ve been using this for a while, thanks.

The singular and plural keyword targeting was a major area I was having problem with but your post clearly explains how to do the right kind of optimization.

It is very good for the me.

Once again thanks , technique really good .

But I thought you could get blacklisted by doing this?

very interested in trying the wordpress plugin. thanks for the tip. i am however hoping to hear more first hand experience of how it has worked. great blog! thanks for the tips.

I have an idea. Why not combine this script with an autoclick script(or build a invisible pop-up) which automatically hits the “vote up” button?

I am definitely gonna try my idea sometime!

very nice post. thanks…

Oh, I see now. The Dev is easier to remember though! Sweet, thanks Eli

This information is important to keep for my need. I would like to try working with HTML. Hopefully, I can implement the lists of HTML soon. I thank you for this.

thx

thx you

Thanks for the code. I was hunting for this code for over month… at last got it… Thank you again.

nice technique. It’s very good

Thanks for the StumbleUpon code. Very useful.

Wow great codes… Definately worth implementing into your site!! Digg and stumbleupon can add huge amounts of traffic to your site!!!

your script is usefull
thanks

I really hope this helps me get more stumbles/diggs, my site doesn’t get many at the moment. Thanks for your scripts!

Yes, i will definitely be using these tactics immediately.

this is too complicated for me. german seos dont do things like that- normally

Oh, I see now. The Dev is easier to remember though! Sweet, thanks Eli

I see how this is going to bring some trafic but I wonder how could this help optimize. I gues I have to Try to find out. Thanks.

Cool scripts. Thanks.

Great post.Thank you very much for your script that is very useful.

Wow this seems like an awesome way of encouraging upvotes… will consider using it!

Mind blowing informatin in so simple language ……. Thanks

Wow! You are the right person in ordre to assist the painful persons.

I do agree with your thoughts. Thanks for such a nice post.

Your posts really impressed me ……….. Thanks

Thanks for the nice post. I’m going to test this out on a couple of sites as I can see it working quite well.

Neat post with clean code.. I still not sure how to use Perl, though PHP is very simple

Great post.

Will test this out and see it it works.

Going to add this to my latest blog post and see what happens

Will test this out and see it it works.

thanks very much for the useful article for me.

I will need to use it first and then tell you how well it does. It’s kind of interesting stuff.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I would still stand with PHP since I found it with ease.

Great tips, Thanks quite useful and interesting stuff

Great Code. Thanks for sharing your thoughts

Thank Will test this out and see it it works.

Digg’s traffic effect is well known, all social media websites can significantly increase traffic and make your site more viral and helps with branding.

Does this really work? I’ve got several articles about the Cool Springs area of Williamson County Tennessee and haven’t has much success with Digg.

Digg rocks every time

We think its cool

Your posts really impressed me! Thanks

i have a problem to intall javacript to my server
could you help me

Thanks

It help me so much. Thanks

is it effective?

I should try this one and report it what happen.

i don’t know is that really effective? I will start using this method immediatly !

Awesome suggestion, I have already added this code to my site and I’ll report back if it gets me more diggs or stumbles.

Both Digg and Stumble Upon are social bookmarking services that allow online friends the chance to share, promote and read articles and blog posts that are of interest to them.

Nice piece of useful code.

Great codes
hope this help to boost my traffic
thanks alot mate

This will be great. My sites seem to get lots of visits but never get dugg or reviewed on stumble upon.
