search engine submission social bookmarking submit directly to google submit some of your articles to Article Directories post on forums that get a lot of traffic
What??? I asked something...I didn't want you to give me a list of link building methods! I already know that!
If you have a strong digg account and while digging your story the post gains many views Google will probably index it. I submitted 7 stories and 6 had been indexed within a day or 2.
Yes, it depends on your profile popularity. Not only on Digg, take any popular social network profile, Google indexes it. But indexing doesn't give any benefit when you are not ranked to what you expect. So better concentrate on getting the maximum benefit from these social networks in terms of traffic and conversions by opting best social media marketing methods rather Google indexing/ranking!
As other peoples mentioned on how authority of your Digg account but the main point is, if your Digg got some managed into the front page even for a few seconds then it would have a much higher chance to being crawled and cached. That's why your account authority comes an influence for this specific case. You might have a luck enough to get the story being published on front page without authority but it is a rarely chance it could be.
Submitting to digg is the easiest way to get it indexed. But trust me if the content is really good you don't have to worry cos the Google bot will crawl it by itself
Digg is the top popular social bookmarking website. Google bot will index much faster way. There is no doubt in that.
The same with other social bookmarking/submitting story site on how authoritative your account plays a role to get your posts indexed faster. Better too if you build your network well so that your friends there will comment and digg too your post into more exposure...
After Digging it post that url in Twitter and social networking sites. Surely you will get indexed. This is the way in which i've worked to get indexed.
But when the crawler notices that many users go to that page it will crawl and index the page. It won't follow the digg link but the direct link of the website.
I noticed that when one page gains many visitors for a short time, it doesn't matter where it is from, the google crawls that page. I noticed it when I got many visits from digg, facebook or a comment in very high traffic website. It doesn't matter is your link nofollow or dofollow.
That's coincidence - Google doesn't 'follow' other people - it doesn't know or care if other people are clicking a link - how would it even know? The Googlebot is either following a link or it isn't.
