Digg is a website that allows individuals to report on interesting content and information. Digg users then vote on the stories that they like the best. The more people that vote on a story, the higher it is ranked. Having one's website on the first page of Digg can generate millions of visitors. If you were to visit the site, you will find that most of the top stories are about current events or about general topics. Look closely and see if you can somehow connect your sites subject to a current event.

There are no official editors on Digg, instead, the readers act as the editors. Digg allows individuals to share news stories, videos and podcasts. Digg is a good place to generate back links and also get some free traffic. Some people complain that Digg readers are not necessarily buyers and so it can be a waste of time for internet marketers. I do not agree. If you submit enough good stories, you will begin to be seen as an expert in your field. This will increase the likelihood that people will eventually buy from you. Digg users are usually at the website to get good information, they are not there to buy anything, and so simply linking to a sales page may not be very successful. Instead, it is important to give them what they are looking for, information. Once you do that on a regular basis, they may trust your opinion enough to make a purchase from you.

There a couple of ways to benefit from Digg. You can add your own stories and link back to your website or you can pay someone to do it for you. Some people submit websites to social networking and social bookmarking sites for a fee. It generally does not cost a lot. Depending on how many sites you want your website listed to, the fee can cost anywhere from $3-$20 (or more).  The more people that you can get to vote on your site the better. Also, consider the keyword and subject that you want to use. A subject that is not particularly popular may allow your website to able to reach the front page with only a few votes. In these cases, you can open up a few Digg accounts and vote for yourself. You also ask your friends or email list to vote on your website as well.
