Has anyone had success promoting their articles on Digg to get more hits? If so, please share. I've only had marginal success with this site, however, I don't have too many followers. Please give suggestions regarding how to get more followers. I have tried "friending" people there and have been a member for about 6 months now but still only have 9 followers. Is there a secret? Thanks in advance for any information, insight, and advice!

Hi bethany Digg is quite a place for technical writeups and your writeups must be of real value and great content. You must have followers(fans and friends) on that site who would keep digg-ing your post. Normally, if the profile has the same website from where the content is being posted, it is negged (buried in Digg terminolgy) and never stands a chance to make it to the top(popular). Unless you get to the popular, Digg will not be the right choice to drive in traffic. So here are a few things - 1. In case you have put the website on your profile, remove it. 2. As you say you do not have fans, befriend(Digg Term for friends) quite a few who are the leaders, some from the mid level - but keep a note of their digg activity - look into how may diggs per day they give - the higher the better. 3. Do not post regularly, first keep making diggs (this will earn you friends). 4. After 4 or five months, do a submission from your blog. In between, search some great articles and sub them. A few popular sites for digg are msnbc, cnn, bbc, and also any weird facts that you can find, pictures too used to be good. But always take care not to submit content that has already been posted. This is easy to find out as Digg displays matching content or posts with their diggs before the final submission.(unlike Mylot). Good Luck. Hope this helps

Oh yes, I was on your profile and if the webiste you mention there - you need digg for that, I would suggest using FB and Twitter for that. People at Digg unfortunately do not have hearts.

I have a 3 years experience with Digg and promoted my 2 articles to the first page of Digg 2 years ago. It was a great success with more than 70000 impressions and 50$ daily earning. Now, it is very difficult to carry your submission to the first page as a popular content. To do this, first you have to have too many active followers. Please be careful..I don't say many followers but many active followers. And these followers should somehow be popular users. Focus on some popular Diggers and follow them and digg those users submissions. If you keep doing this, in a short time, you will draw their attentions and they will start digging your submission. Secondly, the title of your Digg submissions will be impressive and attract the others. This will push your submission onto the first page with others' votes. Thirdly, this is just a game and it needs a little bit luck. If you're lucky, you'll get what you want.

You can dedicate assignments at microworkers website to recruit more followers or more hits to your website. At the moment, I am participating in this site to accomplish many similar tasks. Hopefully, I shall see your dedicated assignments around.

You can join the microworkers as an employer. Then you post your website and pay for other members who registered as workers to digg it. For the detail, you can read the instruction in the particular site.
