But there are other social media tools that can bring you great results. A good example of this is StumbleUpon: a website recommendation/bookmarking tool.

Without any promotion on my part, this network alone caused a giant week-over-week increase in traffic to my new hotel design blog.

It seems some types of content work better on this site and others. My design blog is photo oriented, and may have a broader appeal than this hotel marketing site. But if you’re trying to promote images or similar content, this tool is definitely worth your consideration.

Update: As I write this post, my last article – 10 Ways to Improve Your Landing Pages – was just “stumbled” and received 100′s of visitors within the past half-hour. I guess lightning can strike twice!

Another idea for your tool kit….
