Do You Digg?

[alcymart]

Anybody here use Digg for SEO purposes? If so, any suggestions would be appreciated as to how we work it up?

Do we just find articles online and submit them to get diggs, or am I completely off track?

I just want know how to use Digg to build backlink....

[Adie]

I think Digg is dead for seo since they restrict the number of submissions...

[raybanmy]

I digg. But only one digg for 1 site

[Brian Douglas]

Unfortunately I don't believe Digg is as useful as it once was.

Will like the question answered as well.

Digg is going the way of delicious. They changed to nofollow
for most links. Digg dugg its own grave. The last shovel of dirt
is about to be tossed on it.

Watch out for newcomers. Buzzfeed and thisorthat, with buzzfeed
taking the lead on such stuff. The problem though, is what these
sites morph into. They want to go big, so they let anything in.
Then they think they are highbrow and can eliminate what they see
as spam. They take measures, and the next thing you know people
go looking elsewhere.

The biggest mistake these places make is trying to be a "serious"
news site. They are not. Ask made the same mistake by trying to
become a serious search website. Hardly.

If you are not maxing out twitter, you really should be doing that #1.
Twitter has embraced everything--news, IM, ads, jokes, junk, updates,
messages, etc. And it's flourishing. Facebook has clamped down on
the anti-social aspect, making it very iffy for marketing.

I use digg for my personal articles that I submit there immediately after posting and digg is strong source of building backlinks and traffic source for me so far.

1. Quoted for truth. Amen Paul.
2. Quoted because everyone needs to read "...Digg dugg..." again

I no longer dig Digg and haven't used it in months.

I have been digging for a long time for my site, but do not get satisfactory traffic from them.

My receiving traffic from digg is very little. I am also searching any good technique for increasing traffic from digg.

Well thank you all for your replies. It has nothing do do with dofollows. It has to do with the fact that Digg is a ranking factor at Google as is Delicious for Yahoo and Bing! The more diggs, the better according to research I did that didn't come cheap at a little over $500.00 invested! So I am obviously taking this seriously.

It has nothing to do with getting traffic from Digg. I'm talking about a boost in SERP's!

Beats me why some of you quit on Digg when trend in social networks has never been hotter! Stop thinking in terms of dofollows and nofollows... there is more than meets the eye here! I just thought I could find one of those Digg front page pros on WF...we'll see...


Take care,
