i noticed when i submitted an article on digg, the digg url page (or whatever the heck it is) was ranked pretty high on my keywords in google. then after around 5-6 days, it completely disappeared can anyone explain this? Does digg delete the page after awhile?
google lists lots of digg stuff for a few days. they do this with other sites as well. Gooogle will often test out different things for various phrases and then based on the number of clicks, etc they help to determine what is useful.
it happens. One of the way to avoid this: Dont write the same keyword (which you wanna rank for) in Digg subject. Digg page ranks higher for a couple of days and it settles down after that. Digg links are counted as backlinks. YES. Hope that helps
If you look at how the Digg site works....your link will get buried deeper and deeper in the archives......
It happened with me also. mine was on the 4th place in google for a highly searched keyword and I got enormous traffic from digg for about a week and it suddenly dropped to ZERO.
Yes.... You will need more diggs ...if the keyword is not to competive you may hold for a couple of weeks....also netscape,clipmarks,plugim seem to work well.
I'll have to try netscape and clipmark (never heard of this one before, thanks). I agree Digg is valuable. I'm not so positive about Stumble and such.
Hooray for socail bookmarking final somewhere us small guys can get some traffic and decent backlinks
i think at the beginning , it was getting direct backlinks from home page but after a while, your article has gone to the subpages (lost its high pr backlinks)
Agreed. Digg is too popular and your article gets pushed back too fast. Clipmarks, netscape, plugim.com and bluedot.us are not as popular and last a little longer.
Home page article usually ranks well in Google. Which is why Google Loves Blogs that are frequently updated.. And also, this why some people think PR is important even for SERP... EG Zeremy Zawodny's Blog which is very high Pageranked used to rank bettter tnan my siet for a very specific keyword.. Zeremy's blog was not at al relevant to that keyword, while my site was built around that keyword... His was Number 1 mine was 2.. I came to ONE only after doing a massive googlebomb PR sure matters if all else remain constant
