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.
