Digg is a social bookmarking site from where you can get a very decent traffic if you have couple of friends community on digg because your story must need votes to come on top and you must need friends to get votes
Digg has a lot of educated users, but they have ADD, so you gotta move fast!!! It is great for getting high on google
So the secret to DIGG is to build up the friend base within Digg.com first, then focus on getting posts dugg. Makes sense to me!
Does anybody actually have experience with Digg traffic? My understanding is that it converts like s·%$... but it makes you feel good to get the boost of traffic. Worth the time investment?
Digg has changed its policy. It has become ungrateful to the people/webmasters that promote it. Digg has become a greedy website.
If anyone could digg this article it would be much appreciated and i will do the same back for you : http://digg.com/d313bkM PM me if you want me to digg anything for you Thanks
Digg is too easy banned a website or blog without doing investigate. If someone report you.. and then digg will banned you.. they don't care the report true or not..
You're all making good points, but I don't think anyone is addressing the original question: as far as targeted country traffit goes, DIGG is very much useless. It's good for getting massive volumes of non-targeted traffic (sometimes over 100k views in 1-2 days), but not unless you get your article on the front page. And you won't get your article on the front page unless it's a genuinely interesting story (as far as DIGG standards go, that is) and you succeed in amassing 100-200 diggs in the 24 hours after you've submitted your article. DIGG thrives on rabid fanboys, so you can't really expect cheating it; most you can expect is to manipulate the odds of reaching FP to your advantage... but it takes skill, effort and know-how. At least that's how it used to roll over there.
As far as the original Digg itself, you can still do very well there IF you get to the front page, but it is now less and less likely the average person will ever see the front page since Digg has grown to be a behemoth website. Without gaming their system, which more and more people are trying to do, you have to rely more on luck than simply writing a good piece to get attention. And don't forget that you have to write in a category they provide, which effectively eliminates hundreds of topics and market niches. Digg has added more categories, but they are anything but comprehensive and their readership is, at heart, still made up of geeks and technophiles. So good luck getting your "Healthy Eating Habits of Highly Successful Women" piece on the front page of Digg. Which is why so many people are starting niche-specific Digg-like sites which work in the same way but are targeted to a specific niche, like Digg was in the beginning.
Digg never drives direct traffic to my site. However, it offers a quality backlink to me. That is very helpful.
digg is top social book marking site. so u make roteen to post ur link and dont spam there and not post many links per day. submit uniq keywords and url base ur link. then u get good result. and traffic.
That's not an article that's spam. Why don't you actual write an article about your products. example: -Interesting Facts about Leather Jackets -7 Most Expensive Leather Jackets Digg users want articles that are valuable not spam product pages.
It does give good backlink to sites, however I do not think that one can target country traffic through Digg, as the site's target is regardless of country.
