digg "made popular"?

When a digg story is put on the front page, it's done so because it has been "made popular". What does "made popular" mean? Is that like...x amount of diggs done within a minute? Does that mean x amount of diggs in existence?

 

Depend. Another thing that you may consider is "be-friend" with those powerfull account holders.

 

great idea zinruss!

 

I think if you get 40 diggs in an hour you get on the front page.

 

roger that, thanks adamv

 

there is no fixed amount of diggs it depends who diggs it and a very complex algorithm.

 

It is just shame that the traffic from Digg is only temporary and not sustained for any long periods ;(

 

I think digg is famous, I was get some visitor to my blog from digg

 

I have added about 800 friends in the last couple of weeks. I send shouts to all who recieve them and notice out of the 800 only about 100 shouts go out. Is there a better way to ask for diggs and is it good or useless to have so many friends?

 

Digg traffic is useless if you want to sell products. I use social bookmarking sites only for additional links, sometimes for adsense.

 

no you get others to digg within the period of 1 day from the first digg (usually 60-70 diggs within day of first digg)
make sense?
