Getting Dugg!
By Max | October 20, 2007
One of my websites got dugg the other day! I really love it when that happens. If you want to launch a successful website, getting to the frontpage of digg is one of the best things you can do to get exposure. If I was a little more serious about this blog, I would be working my ass off trying to get a quality article to the front page of digg.
For the site in question, my normal traffic is around 6000-7000 uniques per day. With the help from digg, I received 34,000 uniques in one day. Thats incredible. The best part about all this is that I didn’t even know it happened until a couple days later. That just goes to show the upside potential of websites. Some forum user on my site posted an article, and then someone else must have submitted it to digg. Two days later I check my statistics and found out I made three times as much as I do on a normal day! Running a website isn’t a passive investment, but its as close as any other business you’ll find.

I my experience Digg is the best for generating traffic but it will be short lived, 3-4 days at best. If you really want to maximize Digg, use one of their badges and edit the code to control the title and description. Then all users have to do is click the button and confirm the submission. The easier it is for them, the more diggs you will get.
Hope this helps!

OK, here is another Digg technique. It is cheating a little bit but hey, this is all bout getting traffic. Check the digg stats from about 6 months ago to see the most popular posts, make a similar one and submit to Digg. I tried it and it worked well!
Hope this helps!
