    Hello,

    my question is today about digg.com

    Is it good for PR when you have many links by digg.com and they are pointing to your web page?

    Thanks,
    ameran

    Digg links are nofollow so the only advantage is your site will be indexed faster.

    You can also get some small trafic from Digg even if you dont get popular. People usualy follow submisions even if they are not that popular.
    But as zexy said digg has no-follow tags on external links so that will not help you SERPS.

    Although it will not help SERP directly, it reinforces ranking if you have great content that is featured in digg. It will bring you traffic and indirectly attracts inbound links :)

    There are many websites that monitor digg.com's front page for popular stories. They re-post them on their websites, thus getting you more backlinks and some of those websites don't have no follow ;)

    Why do you think Digg's links are no follow?

    Below is an example of a digg link from todays front page

    <ul class="news-digg">
    <li class="digg-count">
    <a href="/pc_games/RPG_Style_Map_of_America_PIC">
    <strong>2604</strong></a>
    </li>
    </ul>
    HTML:
    Also there isn't a meta robots tag and the robots.txt file simply reads:

    User-agent: * Disallow: /search Disallow: /submit Disallow: /login User-agent: Referrer Karma/2.0 Disallow: /

    I don't see anything to make me think the links are nofollow or am I missing something?

    Digg links are indeed followed however if you do not get many votes then there will be little if any SEO benefit, if you get votes then it can help your PageRank and your authority.

    I don't have any idea what should I post. I usually digg all my new articles on my web page. They are different topics with different contents.

    What is the best to come in the front page of diig.com?

    Agreed they DO NOT use "No follow"

    Digg is a useful tool in the world of SEs as the more you
    have dugg the greater of importance you site looks to the
    engines just like with Web directory back links as ALL combined
    play a varied roll in a websites SE rankings.

    thx

    submit your url if you think ppl will like it...
    otherwise, try not to spam.
    You'll get banned for sure

    Where is the nofollow attribute? I check the source of a news :

    <a href="Link" rel="dc:source" property="dc:title" target="_blank">Anchor</a>
    HTML:

    PS: i've edited the url
