Digging threads on Forums to Increase Visitors.

Hi guys I was wondering if it was a good idea to digg forum threads in order to increase traffic to your forums?

 

You could do that if it has some good content. Otherwise it will quickly get buried over.

 

If you think the content might be of interest to others, then you should digg it.

 

I have never seen a forum post hit the front page of Digg, ever. I've seen pictures of funny forum posts, but it really has to be a funny thread with some comical stuff in it. Otherwise, you may gain a few clicks of interest from Digg but generally no actual diggs.

 

yes if you have good content

 

i dont see why not as long as the posts are at least 250 words and has very good contents

 

This happened to me once back in 2006. A friend digged a project that I had made and posted on the forums where I hanged out quite a lot. It was a way to build a windows XP running under 16Mb.

Over the years this size kept on being reduced up to 8Mb but the digg effect on the forum post was remarkable.

that's interesting, I am sure it has very useful contents that everyone needed

 

I can't believe a forum post actually hit Digg's FP! Granted this was back in 2006 when Digg was cool and had useful articles, but still wow! Congrats on that dude!

And BTW your link doesn't work, here's the real story: http://digg.com/software/Windows_XP_Live_CD_in_a_16_meg_ISO_(MicroPE)

 

I think it is very hard to get listed on diggs front page. I have never gotten anything on the front page.
