Digg Software What is DIGG? Use Digg to find out what
others think of your favorite web site or blog |
Articles are short summaries of stories on other websites
with links to the stories, and provisions for readers to comment on the story.
All content and access to the site is free, but registration is compulsory for
certain elements, such as promoting ("digging") stories, submitting stories and
commenting on stories. Digg also allows for stories to be posted to a user's
blog automatically
when he or she diggs a story.
Now creating a Web site is pretty straight forward you can either
do it yourself, or hire someone to do it for you pretty cheap . The part where
most people get stuck is in the traffic generation, and I say that out of
experience. I've personally tried several of the "free" ways to get traffic:
Search Engine Optimization, blogging and pinging, social networks, etc. and
that's kind of a traffic lottery where you are just waiting to see if you hit
the jackpot, and most of the time you won't. (Not that it doesn't work, it does,
but it is more of a long term strategy)
Other options for traffic are paid advertisement, but who really wants to spend
the money just to see if it will work?
So
what is the solution?
Have you heard the stories of how peoples servers have crashed because of the
amount of traffic they received after being "dug" all the way up to digg's front
page? They are true, but we don't want to crash our server here, we just want a
decent amount of traffic to our site so getting dug by a group of people to the
front page of a category would be en ought to do that.
Well to get dug by a lot there are 3 basic alternatives:
1)
Come up with some good, sticky, newsworthy information and then cross your
fingers and hope for the best.
2)
Create a large Network of friends in digg and ask them to to digg your post to
bring it up the ranks. (oh but remember to tell them not to sign up as your
friends in your profile because stranger's digs are more valuable than friend's
digs.)
3)
Offer people a gift for digging your post.
Since we are looking for an easy way to do this will explore option #3 a bit
more. By offering people a gift to something (a free report, Resell Rights
product or PLR product) you are making it worth their time to visit your post
and to digg it.
Now
to avoid crashing your server I would recommend giving away a limited amount of
gifts, just enough so you can get to the first page of your category where you
will gain visibility to interested eyes.
