Sitehoppin beer stocks work!
I guess you can compare sitehoppin.com to stumbleupon. The concept was quite similar until sitehoppin intruduced beer stock not that long ago. Since then bloggers were going crazy about it. I have decided to give it a try myself.
To keep things simple sitehoppin put 33% of their total traffic out on the market. This traffic is devided evenly between “shareholders”. So if the are 100 stocks in total and sitehoppin receives 100.000 visitors per day each stock can expect to get around 333 unique visitors every day. The number of stocks is limited and expected to go up in value as sitehoppin becomes more popular.
The great thing about the whole system is that, in the way each stock is a page on sitehoppin and you can do whatever you want with it. I have my pages display this blog. The price of each stock depends on your page name. At the moment they are charging $10 for each vowel and $1 for every consonant. I decided to abuse this a little bit and buy the cheapest pages out there. At the end of the day they still get the same share of traffic. You can see my 4 day results bellow:

Around 800 uniques. Not bad! Because of their pay per letter system zx page for example which brought me 153 uniques only cost $2. It will continue driving me traffic for the rest of sitehoppin life. Lets hope they will live long. I think this is a lot of fun and if you jump on this now you will be able to get your share very cheap indeed. Buy some stock yourself here
If you are not happy with your results you can always sell your stocks on their beer stock market. In fact one stock or page called “entrepreneur” is going for $2500 at the moment.

[…] On the side note, it looks like someone is also benefiting from our Beer Stocks! […]

Ilia, Nice review of a great service. I think Max is doing a great job with SH. I use it on a daily basis and have a few stocks and the traffic they generate is great.

You sure have loads of interesting tips I haven’t seen on any site previously. Never heard of sitehoppin before, StumbleUpon is really cool, and if they’re taking that concept a step further, good for them! Will go peruse their site properly.
