Good article are automatically viewed highly... else you need to try some blackhat method but I never recommend
hey, I agree good article helps a lot , submit interesting video that will help viewers attract your profile site. how about add friends and join group, try it.
I think the only method to get top diggs is... Good story and big network of friends on digg to share.
Digg is a corrupt system, doesn't matter how good is your article, the big sharks will be always on top, people digg articles because have an interest, the relations are above the value, any garbage article can receive 1000 diggs, because of this relations but your well writed article is possible never get more than 15.
article will be viewed more if its about tech related topic (health, cooking and similar doesn't pass good on digg . Avoid prefixes in headline like most, best - you can get buried for that; however headline must be catchy ... The fact with the digg is even if you build a good network (not large, but good - one that will digg) they (your friends) will most likely get to the page where they digg your story and then close it - most of your 'good' friends won't even go to your page. So, why don't you try with stumble? it has different system - it goes to your page directly - there is no (dis)like stumble page page in between.... And yes, I agree with the previous poster - digg is corrupt -if you have good network of friends, you may pass to FP (not very likely! - there are whitelisted and blacklisted sites...), but if you are thrown in a digg sea - forget it man - if your story is a hit with exclusive news, you will end with with 5 - 30 diggs in best case This is how digg works Great, isn't it?
write a good article in the tech niche , go around top digs and comment on them by this you are creating more chance for it to get voted on
Digg is more corrupt than USA is. The power users will always be ahead no matter how good your article is. And Kevin Rose doesn't seem to give a damn. After all "It's just the internet".
If you like black hat method. Start no of digg account and digg. install Social bookmarking plugging to your web site
