Making Digg Work For You
Practicing these tips will help make your blog popular on Digg
Know Your Digg Goals
If your goal is to make the front page, good luck. More than 50% of the front page is controlled by less 100 people. You need to think smaller from the start and work towards the homepage. Start by thinking about how to get X number of Diggs. Set realistic goals and analyze the results.
Write Digg Descriptions.
Everyone says content is king and that is mostly true. Writing Digg worthy descriptions is very different from just writing good content. People other than your Digg friends have to want to vote for your entry. Make those 350 character work for you.
Make Digg Friends
Without some popular friends on Digg, you simply won’t make it very far. It isn’t simply good enough to shout out a Digg entry because a lot of those get ignored, especially during the busy part of the day. If you have popular Digg friends you can IM asking them to digg you goes a lot further. People look at what other popular people are digging and often times Digg just to be part of the crowd.
Comment on other People’s Diggs
You want to be recognized and people want to to be noticed for their own efforts. The best way to do both is comment on Diggs. The more you comment without being an asshole the more friends you will gain and the more people who will reciprocate your efforts.
Be Patient
Keep working Diggs for several days if you are getting traction. Some Diggs will simply take time to get going. Other Diggs will go nowhere and you should move on, but even then check back occasionally for new comments.
