Wondering if there are any secrets or ways to increase your chance of making to the digg.com homepage. Here is the article i just posted http://digg.com/hardware/Wondering_what_headset_was_featured_on_Fox_s_24_this_past_week_ I'm very new to digg and am trying it out
Digg.com has a very focused group of individuals which will only digg certain types of annoucements. If you are having problems getting dugg, then perhaps look at starting your own digg site. You may actually start a nice little site for yourself! ie: idiggsports.com idigghorses.com idiggphp.com idiggarticles.com ... umm i think I better shutup now
Yea, I'd imagine you just gotta get some more interesting articles up. Either that or tweak the title/description to at least get more hits.
You are not going to get to page one of Digg unless people dig your story. You are probably going to need to write something unique, interesting, well written, accurate, cool, etc. If you are trying to get the same old run of the mill crap dugg, you won't succeed. And, given the high volume of articles submitted, timing could be as much of a factor as quality.
You know, I think there really are no *secret* ways of getting dugg to digg.com homepage and there shouldn't be. The whole point of digg.com is to allow users, rather than editors, decide what deserves to be frontpaged and overall this actually does result in better quality stories getting most deserved attention. It doesn't happen all the time because of the great number of submissions in certain categories when it happens that some submissions simply don't get noticed fast enough, but I still think it's the best editorial system around. One of my sites got dugg four times. We have a content writers team and have created some really cool and interesting articles that apparently caught attention of alot of diggers. Another point to make is that digg.com is a technology site and most of the people there are tech savvy enthusiasts. That said, stories that don't have much to do with tech or are only borderline related don't have so much of a chance. Our stories were all about GNU/Linux, from networking to the "vi survival guide" to the Ubuntu GNU/Linux review. Cheers and good luck Daniel
Actually two of those wouldn't and shouldn't fly: idiggsports.com and idigghorses.com because they don't relate to tech. Digg.com is not a general news site. It is a tech news site. Also, I think it is best to just create good and interesting content than try to somehow artificialy gain diggs. I mean it's enough that webmasters have already started trading diggs. Trade is nice, but those diggs have nothing to do with actually liking the content of the article, so I think we shouldn't look to go overboard with such strategies as that ultimately leads to the lessening of the value that led digg.com to becoming what it is today (and which also benefits us who create good content). Good content is still king guys, and always will be! Write good and interesting content and you'll get dugg if you deserve to get dugg. That's the whole secret. (Of course a good and engaging title and description helps too, as always.) Thanks Daniel
