Digg

All I read nowadays is Web 2.0 and social sites - like myspace, digg and del.icio.us. These are sites that are full-blown communities on-line. We have seen the Internet lean this way and it is not going to change. It is only going to grow.

Now, when I post to a blog - I add it to the social sites. When I write an article - I add it to the social sites. I have accounts at the social sites and I add articles there - and then add them to other social sites. It all goes round and round.

These social sites are great places to put your articles or link your articles or blog entries. They are very highly ranked at teh search engines and links get indexed in a day or so. This can drive enormous amounts of traffic to your web sites.

Sites, like Squidoo, Digg, MySpace, HubPages can be easily set up and text and links can be added simply. The more folks that visit your sites at these social sites will then visit your other web sites - the ones where you make real money.

So, create accounts at Digg, Technorati, Squidoo and the others, add some content and watch the visitors magically appear.Now, if you really want to get the traffic rolling - go to Pligg.com and create your own Content Management Site (CMS) that looks similar to Digg and have people add articles to your site. This CMS is very simple to upload and install - and with the templates - easy to configure to make your very own. Folks will come to read, add, vote, recommend - just like Digg.

Interlink these sites with links back and forth to each of the sites. Promote your sites on all of these social bookmarking sites and the traffic will be continuous.
 

Digg Website promotion

Internet marketers are going crazy over this new social network called Digg and for good reason too. Using Digg correctly can send tens of thousands to your website virtually overnight.

This is how Digg works: People register with the site, and thus join the Digg community. These registered users then submit newsworthy or rather "Digg" worthy content. A short summary of the news item is written about the content. You can submit nearly anything to Digg; this includes videos, stories, blog entries, funny pictures - Anything!

What then happens is "Registered Users" then "Digg" the story or whatever has been submitted. The "Digg" is actually a vote for the content that was submitted to Digg.

The stories with the highest number of "Diggs" make it onto the front page of Digg. Stories can also be "Buried" which will send them shooting down to rankings at Digg.

Digg stories are then kept in the up and coming section for around 12 - 24 hours.

If the story does not receive enough "Diggs" it is then sent to the Digg homepage. If the story starts to get "buried" it will automatically disappear.

Writing a good story that gets a number of Diggs, and by number I mean a few hundred can produce tens of thousands of page views which will mean thousands of visitors and potential customers to your websites.

To produce a popular story you need to write about something that will help people, actually, writing about Digg itself is a very popular subject and frequently makes it onto the top spot.

This is a form of viral marketing, get it right and your site will do incredibly well, get it wrong and nothing will happen. Site promotion like this is a far, far more powerful way of gaining popularity and backlinks to your site than traditional Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) Techniques.
