Is it a good idea to digg myself?

    I just started a new blog, and the chances that some one will digg my post is very rare, so is it a good idea to digg myself and any other social bookmarks? At least to build some back links, I think, does it help? And does it violent the agreement?

    Thanks

    Yeah, you can digg yourself. But before you do, make sure you have something that is actually digg'able. Diggers are a tough crowd - digging a bunch of junk is worse than not digging at all.

    You should digg your own stuff. At least I prefer to do it that way. I wouldn't leave it up to someone else to put it in the correct category and write up the description. I'd rather do that myself, but then I am a bit of a control freak. ;):p

    Why "digging a bunch of junk is worse than not digging at all"? My chances of being digg'ed is very rare, but still digg myself should be at least have a back link from digg.com, that's what I thought, please correct me if I was wrong.

    Thanks

    if you constantly digg your own stuff and it's krap or spammy, you stand the chance of being banned, or all your stories being buried.. If i was you, i would submit only your BEST stuff.. That's how I do it at least.. Got me to the front-page twice..

    Of course it isn't a good thing to do. What are all the e friends for? If you don't have any then start making some. This is probably the most important aspect of getting your stories to the home page.
