I always have one doubt regarding this : Why some people wants URGENT Diggs or may be Stumble upon too ? Whats the reason for urgency
Time is a important factor to get promote on Digg. If you fail to get your story promoted in 24 hours, most likely it will never get on front page. It usually takes less digg for a page to be promoted if the digg came in fast. (there is no threshold on the number of digg to get promoted. They have a algo that take factor like time, # of digg, authority of those who digg) There are three way to get a digg (i can't think of more right now) Click on a link to the digg page (carry the lowest power IMO) click the digg button on a webpage people found the story in the digg's upcoming page (the nature way and it carry the most weight) __________________________________________________________ When you submit a story, it show up at the top of the upcoming page. When a new story is submitted, you got push down one spot. If you got 1 digg, you will go up one spot. In order to stay in the first page, you need to get digg constantly.
