1) A common notion that Digg is all about fascinating caption. If you have a caption like, ’10 best ways of….’ Etc it will catch the attention of the user. This is not true always. Never think that you will get 1000 Diggs if you prepare an article like that and post it in Digg. It is the quality of the article that matters.
2) Avoid plagiarized content in Digg. Somehow, it does not attract people and help you in getting more Diggs.
3) Somewhere in the web, I read that if you write best about Firefox or write bad about Microsoft, you will get more Diggs. I suspect if the writer is against Microsoft for some reason. Again, throw such notions off. They will hardly help you in getting more Diggs.
4) No spam post. Pretending to convey an information, and conveying something in the actual page. Remember, there is an option to ‘Bury’ your post in Digg.
5) Do not give repetitive links to the same video and post it again in Digg. This is similar to taking something from Digg and posting it in a different blog and submitting it again to Digg.
6) Don’t beg to get Diggs. Give a quality article and you are sure to get Diggs. Just focus on quality and you are done.
7) Do not create multiple logins and use it to Digg your posts.

Another social marketing strategy is to use social bookmarking sites to create backlinks to your site.
ReplyDeleteI have found 15 sites so far that Google will follow back to your site and return a backlink in Google results.
However, think about this: If Digg has 5 million users and the average number of posts, from the Digg top 100 to the user who no longer participates is 1 post per day, that is 5 million posts.
How can you possibly expect that Google will see your 1 link in Digg in 5 million others as a backlink to your site. In fact if you submit your site to Digg and no one else Diggs it, I have come to feel that is a negative indicator in Google’s eyes. The worst thing you can do is submit your Digg posts yourself and then get no Diggs.
One of my friends on Social Marketing Central wrote an article that went hot on the Internet. He got like 1500 visitors in a few days and 80 comments. The bad news is that he only got 18 Diggs. Now tell me this: Don’t you think that Google, that has access to the popularity of posts on Digg just like we do, would not see 1500 visitors and 18 Diggs a negative indicator of this blog and the blog post itself?
I can easily get 100 to 200 Diggs for any article I want in Digg in 2 days. I do that through my own strategies and participation.
So social bookmarking if done wrong can actually hurt you. Social marketing is about being social, so be social on social bookmarking sites, don’t just submit you own content and expect that this will bring you results.
