Digging into Digg (Part I) - How to get to the first page of Digg

Category: Computers and Internet: Internet Marketing

Ever since the first search engine was born, every site is trying to get to the top of different search engines on their preferred keywords. 

The most prominent search engine "Google", market leader with almost 69%, has numerous parameters on which it evaluates your site. One of the most important parameter is organic link. Organic linking is nothing but when different other important sites and non important sites link naturally to your site because of relevancy and importance. Organic linking as important as getting support for your site from other sites, the more support you have the stronger you are. The stronger you are you will get high on pagerank and consequent traffic. 

Digg.com is one such platform to get you more organic links. Let’s find out what you need to do to digg your way into digg.com. 

Digg is a social network site which enables users to submit articles and pages and meanwhile allow members to vote, or Digg, other pages that they find interesting. Because Digg is one of the most visited social book marking sites out there people now understood that Digg can be a useful site to bring in traffic to personal web pages. Now when I say good traffic I am talking about the possibility for thousands of unique visitors a day. Of course to get this amount of traffic it will take some work. To do this you will need some friends and naturally an interesting story that will draw people in. 

1. Get a Good Idea for a Story:

        Every day there are dozens of shocking stories on the news. One can find stories like this just by watching the major news outlets on television. Why not use this to your advantage? Everybody loves to read about weird and shocking stories so why not Digg it? If you do not feel like writing a story then possibly a humorous picture is the way to go. Look around and feel free to publish the most hilarious picture you can find. 

2. Do not break the Digg Terms of Services:

        Breaking the TOS of Digg is a fast and easy way to get your account banned from the site. So tread carefully and make sure to read all the rules before you begin to start publishing stories. If you push them too far then not only will your account be banned but your ip and site will be banned as well. 

3. Get your friends to vote:

        I recommend that you download some form of messenger and start adding fellow webmasters. There are literally hundreds of people who are willing to help you get your story to the top. Feel free to ask your friends and online contacts to digg your story. There are also a lot of people out there that are willing to digg your article in exchange for a digg of their own. The possibilities are endless.

4. Market your story and articles:

        Advertise your Digg submissions. There are dozens of decent article submission sites out there that will allow signature links as well. I recommend signing up to Ezine Articles for starters and take it from there. People will then be able to naturally find your article and after a short while people will begin voting for your story. 

5. Add the Digg bookmarking Buttons to your site:

        By doing this you are adding an easy way for visitors to your site to quickly vote for your article. This will help get your story more votes and will raise it to the top of Digg while bring in more traffic.

6. Interesting Title:

        Nobody will bother to look at your story if it sounds boring. So fix this with an easy solution. Just give your story an interesting name that will lure people in.

 

In the next few weeks we will delve more into each individual point mentioned above. So keep watching!!
