I went to the digg site, but I didn't see articles. Everything I clicked on was a web site. I thought you submitted an article. What do you submit a story from someones website you find that is interesting. I don't see how that can bring you any traffic. Clint
I didn't notice any great difference when I've posted in the past there but this post nudged me to submit a recent code module I released. The form was totally screwed in firefox (but ok in the past) and I had to use IE! http://www.digg.com/programming/digg
People read the title of the story, if they interested to know more about that, they will click the links and will be forwarded to the website. Its much better than you submit the whole articles to website because visitors just can read it there.
Digg drives a nice traffic for my news site. As soon as I put up a new article I submit it on digg. Good traffic! Not so much for my dog training site though.
I love Digg. It only takes a few minutes to Digg an article and I see immediate traffic regardless of whether we hit the front page or not. I've also noticed on some client sites that Digg modules offering people the opportunity to dig their pages have been seeing a lot more action lately.
