I have learn few things on Digg though i can’t say how accurate I’m but its my experience with digg that I’m sharing which will be very helpful for you.
If you are one of those who submit articles from a single blog/websites or use your profile to promote only your blog stop doin it Right now!
Why?
because you might ban yourself or you might permanently block your website on digg and then there is no undo from this. Worst case even if your blog might not get blacklisted but you will not be able to make any FP. No matter how good your article is or how much digg you get but making a FP will be impossible for you. This is not me perception or experience ask any digger and you will know about this.
How often on Digg you came across this lines with a shout
“Digg and shout me back anytime I listen to all shouts”
Do you Know If you shouting your submission again and again you are actually hampering your chance to Make the front page.
The Digg algorithm is designed in a way that vote from friends does not matter much though if you submit a nice article you can expect few diggs from your friends to make it HOT!
But if you re shout or keep shouting your article then that’s but obvious that your article need to make an extra effort to make a front page.
So bottom line is stop shouting every time, If you planning to get real traffic through Digg by hitting FP.
Its better to connect to your digg friends by IM/RSS or emails.
That’s the best way to communicate.
Build Relationships, Not Only Friend Lists
Digg is more then shouts and Digging. If you utilize it you can have few good friends everywhere.
So Instead of shameless promoting your blog/website try to make some good and genuine friend who can be more then a digger for you.
A true Asset of a blogger depends on the fact that how many new readers become your permanent reader and after reading your post they either remember your name or they come back again by thinking that this time they might find something more interesting.
I tried to made my point clear without speaking everything because anyhow different word have different meaning in different mind. So it’s you who have to decide what do you want few diggs for now or a sure shot FP in future.
Happy Digging!!!
