digg.com - a great place to submit your articles

Have anyone here ever used digg.com ?

I like the idea, that the users decide which articles go in the top, and I heared that people who submit articles there are getting very good resullts.

I can't believe it!

I've just posted one article (when I saw this topic) and instantly there are 10 guests in the forum from this source!

I will put this in the fave!

Thanks for the link :)

Edit: Not a minute passed and they are 20!

This site must really have a lot of traffic

Sorry for the triple post, but you should see this :

You conviced me!

I should write some articles and post them there :)

Wow Nikolas, that is insanely impressive.

I just tried it, got about 20 sustained visitors for quite awhile.  I didnt convert any to members unfortunately.  :(

I haven't convert too, but I will keep trying for a while, to see what is going on

Yes, digg.com really does wonders for your traffic.
Just to show how popular it is, there's a term out now for being featured - "to be dugg" :) as in "to google"

You dont know about digg? Well. I suppose its likely actually , do you know diggs only been open about a year?! see how popular they are now , sometimes topping that of slashdot.

It is very very popular, but the traffic has no real quallity in terms of conversion.

So as those people don't use the ads, or don't sign up maybe it is useless.

It seems useless, but I have read many bloggers speak of being digged and getting 100+ diggs so their article was on the front page.  Some front page articles get 5000 uniques per day.

I have used digg for... what?.... 3 Days now. and I have recieved 200+ Uniques Visitors thrown at me. But, most of these visitors read the article and leave. That's the only down side I see in digg.com

A friend's article acrually made it to the coveted front page and stayed there for a little more than a day and he recieved almost 10,000 uniques that day (His normal average is around 90-100).. Thats what digg can do for you. But sadly, the traffic high lasted a little more than a week. Right now he's back down to 100+.

But hell, 10,000 uniques is still 10,000 uniques! No matter how long* you keep them :D!

WOW, seems like a great stuff, I just need to come up with a few articles...

Digg is, unfortunately, the ultimate two-dimensional player in a 3D world.  Whereas Furl and del.icio.us cover a broad range of topics, Digg covers really only the mechanics of the Internet platform on which the real content exists. 

To members of this forum, the dugg articles will be of interest, but most people (customers) could care less about how the Internet delivers their music, information or tulip bulbs.  Digg will remain a niche player.

I somewhat agree. I like Digg alot more than the other Article Submition sites because to read the article, the user will be automaticly sent to your site, the article is not on DIGG.com, like most Article site are.

Ok I'm going to go off topic here but, since digg links to your articel on your site, wont you have a PR7 link back to you? And if you submit many, wont you have tons of them?

Crystal is going to go write some articles now.

yeah. Ok. But i am anxious to know the answer to my earlier question...

Well Luis the answer is negative, because even if you got digged in the first page, your link will not be there for a lot of time, so no pr.

Nik, from what I've seen, articles stay on forever. Since bots crawl that area, yeah, you would get some effect from it.

~Crystal

sure, but no PR7 link... But I guess every link helps a bit!

ok. but why no PR 7 link... can you explain please?

once your link drops down to page number 1264378 you'll be on a PR0 page. Each page on a website has its own PR, only the front page has PR7...

ahhh ok.. i see.. well thanks.

sorry for "digging" up an old thread. can search engine spiders follow links from Digg? adding to my sites inbound links?

yes it will count but,

due to the dynamic nature of Digg your link will be constantly moving, so even on the front page it will not really help your ratings.

It is great at getting things indexed fast though :)

thanks for the reply!

From my experience, getting in the front page of Digg can give you serious boost in SEPRs. This is mostly because there are many sites out there that use Digg's feed (eg. web2announcer.com) and a place in the home page will "invite" many bloggers to write about you.

My experience with DIGG has been pretty average. We use DIGG on our blog so people can DIGG our articles but I find people don't dIGG anything unless it's their own or are getting something in return like an exchange.

The system is completely flawed, but thats the nature of it I guess.

Amazing how you learn something everyday when you pay attention.  Thanks for the tips folks.
