I arrived today in New York for SMX. The Search Marketing eXpo is focused on Social Media Marketing.

SMX Social Media is a two-day show where marketers will learn to harness the power of consumer engagement. It covers how social media sites such as Digg, del.icio.us, StumbleUpon, Reddit, Netscape and others are serving a new and growing audience that wants to discover information based on community interests, voting and sharing.

I already found out the power of StumbleUpon on one of my sites, but there are a bunch of people working with all the social marketing sites and gain a lot of traffic.

These social news or tag sites are also heavily being used as link building tools. Just read the following pieces of evidence on StumbleUpon:

1. Why StumbleUpon sends more traffic than Digg
2. How to draw StumbleUpon users into your blog
3. Dugg vs StumbleUpon – Sharing traffic sources Day 2
4. Analysis: Stumbleupon’s top 50 Stumblers
5. 7 reasons why StumbleUpon traffic is the best on the planet
6. The Other monkey in the Jungle
7. How I increased traffic by over 500%
8. Run a Stumbleupon advertising campaign for your blog
9. StumbleUpon I love you
10. When you link to me, nice things happen

From the agenda of SMX:

SMX Social Media will explore current opportunities and future developments, offering both fundamental and advanced panels on topics including:

• Social Media Marketing Essentials
• Linkbait - Chumming for Traffic on Social Media Sites
• Extra! Extra! The Social News Sites

It’s going to be interesting the coming two days.
