Hello, at the moment I have a website with 45 Diggs. I have seen that some articles/sites appear with less then 45 diggs at the frontpage of DIGG. What are the reasons or motives to get on frontpage? Isn´t just the DIGG count?
I don't know if there is an exact number but I think you need to get around 100 within an hour of being posted. Please note that this is what I have heard and may not be right.
I'm not sure what it takes, either. I posted a Digg exchange in the freebies forum the other day, and got around 20 or so Diggs. Somehow, it ended up on the front page and I got a ton of hits (a ton for me isn't anything to a lot of people, but whatever). I don't think there is a set number, because in total I only had 56 Diggs.
It is much more then digg count. It depends on: - How quickly you got the diggs - How well your other articles did - How many mutual friends you have - How established the members are that dugg your article - Comment Ratio to Digg Ratio - Digg Ratio to Bury Ratio - How established your account is - Popularity of digg.com at that moment, the more articles being submitted a specific time period, the harder it is to get front page. There you, that should cover almost all the biggest points.
It also depends on if similar content was submitted recently. They won't have too many sites with the same keywords on the front page.
