Wow...I guess I shouldn't be surprised that there is a site out there like that but I was. I guess it's really important for some people to get those Diggs and Stumbles for their site!
I think you should find another way to make money, this won't last. Digg will finally get to the bottom of it and ban all the accounts.
The traffic is much smaller than 200,000 / day. Is something like 70,000 at all and definitely the CTR is lower for digg traffic. So it's not worth that much
I have already made some G searches and found that your total traffic in a month will be 1+ Million if your page make it to the top of the Digg. CTR can be made around 10% if some techniques are followed. So these techniques have to be followed on that page which will receive 500 Diggs. Then the AdSense revenue will be high. tsanko : What price do you offer ?
Not entirely true. You have to remember that the majority of Digg traffic are net-savvy and have likely trained their eyes to be naturally ad-blind. CTR is much lower than "normal" traffic, believe me. Interesting service though. If you could guarantee that it'd end up on the front page I suppose you could charge anywhere between $250-$300 for it.
you don't need 500 diggs, you only need about 50-100 to get it on frontpage and then the story gets 500-2000 diggs, but any spam/lame stories get deleted quickly so it's useless
Its very difficult to get CTR above 1% (atleast in my case) from digg traffic as most of them are ad blind. And ya, if the story is not very interesting.. nothing is going to work. I am surprised that people are ready to pay $250+ for the service. May be I can pay $50 and thats also after seeing the results.
LOL..Try to get one story promoted and you will see the real number Got another story on front page last night. It was on the video page and Sunday night so traffic so only got 3-4k unique
This is very true. It's foolish to expect 10% or even 2.5% CTR on Digg traffic. They all know what ads look like, even the most well-disguised Adsense ad. I've also noticed that pages optimized for Adsense that appear on Digg tend to get Dugg-down very quickly. The comments for the article will be filled with people calling the page blogspam, and from there a "bury patrol" (the net version of a lynchmob) will take care of disposing of the article from the front page.
people are looking at being on the front page of digg as an opportunity to get people to click their ads. i dont look at being dugg as a quick adsense buck and i dont think you should either. make some good content and offer some decent services or products and being dugg will expose people to your site. I am trying to get a story to the front page at the moment but i dont expect anyone to click my crappy little adsense block of 2 ads i expect them to leave with a sense that they have learnt something and that they may return to my site to read part 2 or part 3 of the story/article if i get a few thousand uniques i imagine 1-2 people may look at purchasing a service from me possibly 10 people may signup to my newsletter. now on the day i am dugg the only thing i will probably get is a crashed server but I hope over the coming months/years 1 or 2 of those diggers will become a customer. when you consider how much you can earn doing various work on the net $250 for some marketing is a drop in the ocean it all depends on what your approach to the internet is i guess. i want to offer a service to people that they will pay $400 for. if i get a 0.001 conversion then i need 10k uniques to make a sale. if i pay $250 for 500 diggs i should imagine i would make front page on a week day and get that many So in return i think its a really good deal for 500 diggs. especially from different ip ranges to ensure your story doesnt get blacklisted. edit:didnt really mean to make the post that long sorry
