Social network on Digg

Digg is basically the big boss of the social networks and can refer ridiculous amounts of traffic if you reach the front page. If you are trying to game Digg, the first thing you need to do is get familiar with it. Look at the front page and look at popular stories and see what kind of topics they are. Usually, almost all of the stories on the front page will be something to do with politics, breaking news, breaking technology news, or funny pictures. If your niche is something that doesnt seem like it would be on the front page ( like a fishing article on an MFA site, or a free laptop offer on an incentivized site ), don’t do it, because even if it does reach the front page it’ll be ridiculously obvious and they ll take it down and ban you.

So you’re ready to beat Digg. The best way to do it is through www.piqqus.com. You sign up as a member and then Digg other users stories in return for them digging yours. At this time you get one digg for every three stories you digg, so in order to get up there you need to be doing some pretty heavy digging. The best thing about Piqqus is how they have so many users that their system allows for people to digg users without those users having to digg them in return. It’s the same principle as a three way link exchange, just with Diggs. If Digg somehow catches you doing this, they’ll ban you, but as far as I know they won’t ban your site, unless it’s just totally ridiculous like I mentioned before. Hopefully your site will already have enough Diggs by this time to sustain itself, and you can just make another account and start digging again. If you are an experienced programmer or are willing to dish out some cash to get something like this coded, it’s possible you could create an “auto digg” script that would check to see if a visitor to your site is a Digg user, and if they are, it automatically diggs you.

Im not totally sure if this can be done but I dont see why it couldnt be. Just an idea. Here’s another Digg method. Digg gives users “weight” based on how many stories they have started that reach the front page. The more front page stories you have, the higher your “weight” and the more your diggs count when digging other articles. You can create new Digg accounts and then hang out on news sites like Engadget, Gizmodo, Huffington Post, etc and be the first person to Digg their new stories. I know for a fact Engadget gets so many diggs it’s mind blowing, so if you just sit there for a day digging their stories and a bunch of people digg them after you, you’ll be building up some nice weight. If you do this with a bunch of accounts, you’ll eventually be able to digg your own stories and get them seen a lot easier than if you started from scratch and tried to do it the legit way.
