Social media websites can be a good traffic source for your website or blog. There are several WordPress plugins available that make it easier for your visitors to submit a page they like to their favorite social media site.

StumbleUpon is one of the sites that can bring a heap of new visitors to your site. I’ve seen 18,000 page views in a single day on one of my sites, all traffic from StumbleUpon. The number of visitors that came to my site from StumbleUpon decreased considerably over the next couple of days, but I was still getting over 1,000 visitors a day for about a month.
