Digg is the social bookmarking site that can boost traffic for the site and increase link popularity as well.
Digg | Google | SEO - Here's the Deal When a story gets Dugg it receives lots of visitors. In turn, some of those visitors will write about the story on their blogs or web sites and link to it. A domain can receive hundreds of links from a good Digg. Thanks to the Wikipedia Effect, all ships rise with the tide, all pages on the domain that was Dugg receive a ranking boost. (Your mileage will vary) When done intentionally for the purpose of attracting links the story is called linkbait and the practice is one of many social media optimization strategies. Done repeatedly this can generate dramatic SEO effects. And while it is difficult to create Diggable content on a frequent basis, for a talented writer or writers with creative or observant minds it can be easier than traditional link building methods.

Here's a Formula : Digg + Good Content = Hell Lot of traffic btw Digg has no relation to Google and Seo, but ya I've read it in some Seo Book that Digg is a good source for Quality traffic
if your monetizing your site, digg traffic is not convert well.but,it gives some exposure when i submit into digg.
Or if you have a good article. Check digg.com to get an idea of what gets promoted to the main page. If the content is good, people vote your page up and you can get links. As for nofollow, that's not the concern in the end. If you want to tie it in with SEO, most pages that make the Digg main page get backlinked which can help your rankings.
Also if you get an article on the front page of Digg you better have a decent web server to handle the load. A mere shared hosting account will crumble almost instantly from the mass influx of visitors you will get all at once and your host will probably suspend your account.
"Gaming" social sites is kinda of SEO 2.0 but because people are involved its not as easy as "gaming" algorithms and machines, thats why people over at Digg hate SEOs, because the where using them for their own benefits.
