Algorithm behind Bookmarking

    Hey Everyone. I have been trying to figure this out and I was wondering if anyone can help me. If a person has a good site with good content and they submit it to the bookmarking network like digg and stumble upon. How does the site actually get out there. How does it get over 500 diggs and what not. Once it has been dugg or stumbled where does it go from there?

    Thanks so much!

    People can review the article\post and "vote" for it if they like it, you can also add buttons onto you article page that allows web visitors to "vote" for it.

    I really hope someone has an answer. I have searched all over the bookmarking sites itself but found no answer

    I do not know the numbers, but stumble is just a matter of fate/luck.

    When you get a thumbs up it gets added to the stumble list. If someone sees the site and gives it another thumbs up then it gets added to the list again, or at least remains on the list. If the trend continues, then the more people see it, the more people that see it, the more that are inclined to vote one way or another. Then the cycle begins again...

    I've not used Digg enough to know, but it does seem that having a digg button on the article itself can help, as it's right there for people too see/click. It also seemingly gets sent to the digg site where people can happen across it by various methods. Once there, it's just a matter of the site being worthy of being dugg (according to the whims & wiles of those reading it). Digg also seems pretty straight forward... people have to digg it (A LOT) to get it to the front page...though all of the dugg sites had to start small. Having a large digging reader base is likely a good start for that. But again, I'm not fully sure of their system, as they do not cater to my niche.
