What is Digg? Digg is a user driven social content website. Ok, so what the heck does that mean? Well, everything on Digg is submitted by our community (that would be you). After you submit content, other people read your submission and Digg what they like best. If your story rocks and receives enough Diggs, it is promoted to the front page for the millions of visitors to see. What can you do as a Digg user? Lots. Every person can digg (help promote), bury (help remove spam), and comment on stories... you can even Digg and bury comments you like or dislike. Digg also allows you to track your friends' activity throughout the site — want to share a video or news story with a friend? Digg it! Want to know more how the site works?

This is why!!! Get BOMBED with visitors if you hit the index page. Those stats are from one URL that didn't exist one day before I submited it. That was the first time I had submited a page to Digg and had a 100% success rate at hiting the index page and geting BOMBED with visitors. It even crashed the server once!!
I have noticed something similar with stumbleupon. I have more sites there but only in my women community some of the visitors registered. The other sites just had some traffic and that's all. I wouldn't try digg since I cannot afford being bombed by such traffic and "eat" up my entire bandwith just for these hits.
Digg is great to get the name out for your website. But it doesn't create loyal visitors. Be prepared for that spike though, if you're not, your site might go down.
Try a flat out index of any site in 3-5 days ..Digg is used for a ton of diffent way for webamsters.. I dig digg .. lol He is right conversion is usally abit low for the anount of traffic .. but it is traffic and some of it WILL stick.
Yes, DIGG still counts towards your backlinks, it's just like any other site. I think it really helped my blog's PR because I only submited to DIGG (and therefore over 75% of my backlinks were from DIGG only) and it's at PR2 from no backlink work
Digg is a social bookmarking site, studies show that if your site appears on first page of Digg, in average you will get 2000+ new backlinks - GREAT for SEO!
I was curious to know if Digg users generally focus on any one category? Meaning, when I look at the home page I notice many "tech" oriented articles making their way to the top. This isn't a bad thing, just an observation. Since Web 2.0/Social Media sites tend to be used by people who are more comfortable with using the Web and are more technology friendly is it worth submitting articles that might cater to other demographics? (e.g. hunting and fishing articles?) I have only just created a Digg account and am submitting high-quality hunting and fishing articles I come across, but I am thinking they will be buried pretty quickly. Any thoughts?
for instance a site has 1000 daily visitors and this site is earning money by adsense. QUESTION you get 30.000 visitors(by digg) in 2 days and probably the clicks on your ads will increase.if google adsense ban your account and when you tell them it is because of digg will they accept this?
