Top Digg users domination at an end
I’ve written a couple of weeks ago an article about how to become a Digg Poweruser. All those tips still work, but now things have changed a little, as the new Digg algorithm came into equation.
Digg’s top users were the ones hit. Seems that their domination over the stories submitted on Digg came at an end, as the new algorithm wants to ensure that every person has a good chance of getting its submission on the first page, regardless of the number of friends he has, the number of popular stories submitted and so on. Since the beginning of Digg back in 2005, there have been many algorithm changes, trying to beat all those who intended to cheat Digg.
How to own Digg in 20 easy steps
Most of the stories published on Digg.com, the big content aggregator, never reach any exposure and usually don’t get more than one Digg (from the submitter). Why? Because it’s not that simple to get your story popular, regardless of the quality of the submitted content.
I had previous experiences with Digg, had a pretty good account… until i got banned. Now, i though I’ll put together a list of the things you should and most important, SHOUDLN’T do, in order to build a powerful Digg user and be able to get Digg Home page stories regularly. It’s kind of a thorough guide, so enjoy:
- Create a Digg Account
It’s not that simple as you think. You have to go to Digg.com and create an account. But, there are a couple of things you should take into consideration when choosing your Digg User name, as it will be your own Brand for the site. So, make your username memorable. Think of something interesting, that will catch other people attention.
StumbleuponAds? Oh really?
I just passed on an article today that speaks about an interesting way *(that’s what he claims) of promoting a new blog: StumbleuponAds. I’m sure you’re aware what StumbleUpon is… The social bookmark service, you know…
But, what’s with these Ads? For only 0.05 cents per visitor, you get some new visitors to your blog. OK, that’s cheap. All you have to do is sign in to StumbleuponAds and create a campaign worth at least 50$. And then wait for the visitors to come by(more after the jump).
