When you link to me, nice things happen

I came across a juicy seo tactic over at Search Engine Journal, by Loren Baker. It goes like this, if someone links to you. Go and Stumble them.

From now on, if you link to me and your site is not spamola crapola, I will stumble you. This is not an ordinary Stumble, oh no. I have a juicy account that has been building for ten months and tends to send a few hundred people as soon as I Stumble.

I think you need 50 thumbs up to get to this level.

After a few days of using this technique I have noticed a bump in traffic, I'm sure the people I Stumbled also got a taste.

This technique only works if your content is of linkable quality and the people who link to you also have linkable quality.

I'm not sure if this would work outside of the SEO world though and I don't expect people to start linking to stuff they don't like just to get someone else to Stumble them.
