How to Use Digg to Drive Traffic to Your Website?

There are a lot of social bookmarking and social networking sites on the World Wide Web that for some web users out there you would have no idea which one is really helpful to create the traffic for your website. Well worry no more fellow bloggers and web savvy users, here comes Digg. Digg is just one of the largest social networking sites available on the World Wide Web. Knowing that fact alone allow me to answer one question that is probably going in on your mind right now: how to use Digg to drive traffic to your website?
These are the things I’ll be talking about. These are the basics and you need to know these. If you can become a pro at these few things then you’ll reach the front page one day.

1. Add friends on Digg
2. Digg other’s stuff
3. Get to know the diggers
4. Now submit yours and spread the word

1. Add friends on Digg
Okay you just joined Digg. Now you need to start adding some friends. See if anyone you know is using Digg. Add them. Go to the front page, go to the profile of the users that submitted the stories and add them as friends. And also add some of their friends as your friend.
Now you should have a bunch people on Digg.

2. Digg Other's Stuff

Don’t just expect everyone to help you. You need to do something for them first. Digg their shit! Diggers will shout to you requesting diggs on a particular submission (and sometimes on a few). Digg it for them and shout back saying that you dugg it. This is how you make a nice Digg buddy. Moving on to #3.

3. Get to Know The Diggers

People aren’t just going to help out random people. Sometimes they do. Most of the time they don’t. If they knew you then they would obviously digg your stuff more. So, you need to go and add your “digg buddies” on MSN.

Also add random diggers. See who’s digging your articles and check if anyone dugg a lot of your stuff. Shout to them and just say hi and ask them to add you on MSN or whatever IM you use. Some diggers also leave their email addresses on their profile (so check for that first).

4. Now Submit Yours and Spread The Words

Yeah its time for you to make submissions. So, do that and then share it with your friends (there is a button for that). Write something nice and convincing (so that people digg it). And don’t forget to ask your Digg buddies (on MSN) to digg it. They’ll do it for sure (since you’ve been so helpful to them). And if you think your article is great then ask your buddies to share it with their friends.

One more thing. Only submit your masterpiece and send one shout per day. There are people on Digg that send out requests for diggs like 5-6 times a day. Now that’s just annoying. I usually ignore these people (and I’m sure most of us do the same). Just remember not to bug anyone on Digg!
