Using Digg For Promotion

[xtremeoff-road]

Has anyone been using, or have used Digg.com for promotion of their site?

I was considering placing a link on posts within my forums that members could click on to "Digg" however, thought I would get some input on whether is worth it or not.

Thanks in advance

Its hard to get diggs.. I've tried really hard to get diggs on my articles/stories by placing digg buttons on my website but its almost impossible and you can't get incentivized diggs either..

The stories which get to top are either really popular stories or posted by someone who has number of friends to digg the story..

Have you thought about making up a story or you mean some actual stories? Then all you have to do is to wait for something extraordinary to happen and be the first one to write about it.

If you are going to promote some tutorial or webmaster article, you won't get many diggs but if it is some news about Paris Hilton then you might get some.. Most of the times, stories by BBC or other popular news sites manage to get more diggs only.

1. digg only lasts for a short time.
2. digg is really great IF u manage to reach the homepage. otherwise you end up getting a modest 40-50 visitors. sometimes low XXX visitors. thats it

It is only really worth it if you get to the homepage I think. If you get some good diggs then you may reach that page or even a few diggs may get you some good traffic. But overall I have found the traffic for me to be minimal.
