I have a charity entry in the seo contest and want to do an experiment to see if the co-op can help you on digg. My story on digg is going pretty slow as it has not been publicised but I reckon it could be popular and help the site move up the rankings. If anyone wants to help by pointing loads of weight at this link for 5 days please let me know. It will be an interesting experiment and if it works could be a very good use of the coop to gain traffic. Please note I am NOT asking for the weight to be pointed at my site, I want it pointing at the story on the digg.com site. Thanks,
OK, not had any responses to this but..... I pointed 1000 weight at the digg post this morning and am getting a fair amount of traffic through it and a few more diggs - nothing conclusive though. My thoughts are that pointing loads of weight at a brand new site may possibly harm your rankings but pointing loads of weight at a digg article wouldn't. Will keep you posted.
does the site know you are doing this? if not ... do them a favor and stop this test/favor right now. you are hurting them more than anything if it's serps and google favor you seek ... especially a new site. i guess i should have waited to post ... this is some type of contest i guess?
It was just a test to see if I could get diggs by pointing coop weight at the story. I got no diggs so have stopped the test. It was my site so no harm was done.
