Digg is one the most popular social media websites. Bloggers love Digg because Digg is a website where you can submit your blog content no matter what your blog's niche is as far as your content is revelent to masses. To achieve success on Digg you have to follow some rules, written and unwritten both.

As a blogger and as a responsible Digg user follow the steps below and you should do well with driving traffic from Digg to your blog.



  1. Quality content: The content that you want to submit on Digg must be of good quality if you others to Digg your story. The digg users are only going to digg it if they find it interesting or else they might just bury it as lame content.
  2. Don't submit your own blog: Don't submit your own blog's content yourself unless you want your blog to be banned on Digg. So, what to do if you can't submit your own content, don't worry, you can always ask your fellow diggers in your network to submit the story if they are comfortable and they will probably won't mind submitting it if your content is really nice but also make sure that you don't ask too much of favor from Diggers like asking them to post your story evry other day. This can get your reputation down as a digg user and you might not get too much support for your future stories.
  3. When you ask other diggers to digg your story, ask them to digg some other stories as well on the same page. Don't make a monotonous cycle to get diggs from other users. Digg is a smart website and to deal with the spamming they have look after every aspect so trying to fool digg is not a good option.
  4. stay active on digg and keep digging stories to make your presence felt on digg. Don't just login to your digg account to submit a link or ask other's to digg your story. Keep intracting with other digg users also.
  5. Always link to the direct source of the story instead of trying to link a story through some blog because that comes under Digg's terms of use violation and also that is considered to be spam which can lead to deactivation of your digg account.

You need to be patient with digg to drive some good traffic by hitting the front page of the digg. There are chances that you may not hit front page page in beginning even if your content was exceptional but never lose hope keep posting good quality content in your blog and if you do so then your loyal visitors may themself volunteer to post your content on digg.
