How Social Media "Votes" Work?

Hey guys,

I am a bit confused about a few things related to social media "votes" (likes, +1's, retweets, etc)

I understand that it may be different case for different social media sites but how would votes accumulate on Digg for example?

EXAMPLE: 20x different Digg accounts directly submitted example.com/article1 to digg.com

1) If 20x separate Digg accounts directly submit my article url to digg.com, will my page (on my site) show that 20x people have "digged" my page, even though none of them actually clicked on the button on my page?

2) If 20x separate digg accounts all submitted my url, would those votes accumulate on a per submission basis (from votes) or will they all contribute to the votes of each url?

3) Will each one of those 20x urls need to be upvoted individually in order to climb up the digg rankings or will they all contribute to each other?

I will do some testing but I was hoping someone could just point me in the right direction so I don't waste time.

Thanks

    Let me explain question 3 a bit better.

    Lets say I submit my URL using my Digg account. (Based on your answers to my previous questions, my article on my blog should receive a Digg, even though they didnt click on the "digg this" on my page.)

    Then my VA's each submit the URL using their Digg accounts. Will my URL that I submitted with my digg account automatically get 5x additional votes or not? In order to get more votes, do diggers have to go to my Digg post and upvote or do those other submissions from other people also contribute to my votes?

    Thanks

    There is no specific amount. I just go to Fiverr and buy what I need. So far I got good results with 1000 each of shares, retweets and likes. Although it might vary.

      Isnt that a bit excessive? I was aiming at about 15-50 likes, +1's, etc

      Cheers
