By now, most of us have heard that StumbleUpon can be a great source of traffic. This is true both in terms of the quantity of traffic as well as the quality of traffic that StumbleUpon sends.

You may have also read some good guides on how to get started with StumbleUpon, how to write for it, as well as tips on how to get the most out of StumbleUpon. And let’s not forget Darren’s great article on how to advertise with StumbleUpon.

In short, there is no shortage of quality articles written about how to best use StumbleUpon (and at the end of this article I’ll list a few more).

But as you may have gathered by now, Search Marketing Courses specializes in Video Tutorials - and fortunately, we have a video or two which will teach you a great deal about this amazing little tool bar (as you will presently see).

An Introduction to Stumbleupon

Stumbleupon Video

In addition to stumbling upon "random" content on the web, Stumbleupon also let’s you stumble upon online videos as Stumbleupon founder Garrett Camp told Beet.tv in this short little video:

Well, that’s it for our StumbleUpon video tutorials. There is still, however, much to learn about StumbleUpon (particularly how to use this tool to market your website or blog). Below are a select group of articles that along with the links mentioned above can help to teach you the ins-and-outs of Stumbleupon. This is not an exhaustive list, but rather is made up of what I believe to be the best online resources available on how to use Stumbleupon.
