Bloggers Tips - by Kams

 
Blogging, the emerging innovation for sourcing crowds. To coup up with the race of this community driven technology, we need information/news. This is all about information, tips and trends from every corner of Blogosphere.

“Digg” your blog

You have seen many blog, including some of my own post that getting traffic/readers become main concern for bloggers (Especially first 6-8 months) doesn’t matter what is your purpose to blog. Instead of building better contents you had to deal with traffic, blog design, search engine, rating etc. A better way to attract some reader is “Digg” your blog. It’s very much free, yet very easy to do. Trust me within a minute after you “Digg” your blog site/location you will start to get readers.

What is “Digg”?
Digg is a user driven social content website. Everything on digg is submitted by the digg user community (that would be you). After you submit content, other digg users read your submission and digg (vote) what they like best. If your story rocks and receives enough diggs (votes), it is promoted to the front page for the millions of digg visitors to see.


How to “Digg” your blog/story/post?
Submitting blog is easy. Once you've registered and signed in, simply click on 'submit a story' and enter the URL of the blog you would like to submit. Then fill out a title, description, and category for the story.

However there are other automated options available too. But that will require you to have full access to web code alteration/modification. You will find that in Digg tools. Users who are using WordPress, Live Journal, Movabletype, Blogger & Typead already have utilities ready to add this function to your blog.

How “Digg” helps your blog?

Look at from this perspective, not every blog hunter search in google or yahoo for reading, I know I don’t. But most blogger do use RSS aggregator or reader, and guess what 90% of them index “Digg” first. So let your blog travel with “Digg” passport. The more reader you get, the more expose' for your blog, simple mathmatics.

Personally, I don't think you should digg all your posts...

the purpose of digg is to provide user-driven content, but if you flood it with a barrage of posts, it buries the good stories...

I agree with Cibbuano, not all articles.

You want to establish a readership through Digg and the best way to do that is by showing offyour best articles, otherwise you may put people off.


I have been thinking of Digging my articles for a while but never btoehred doing it (oh how lazy I am)

No body sya digging all your stories, once in a while one or two digg is enough. Just to let people know you exist. there is no harm in that.

Ok, for the record I am extremely confused right now.

I put an article on digg, this morning I get my traffic stats back and I was shocked. It was much higher than it ever has been before.

Looking at where most of the stuff came from I found it was just the regular amount of visitors from the usual suspects (orble, yahoo, google, msn search and one or two from digg).

THe only thing idfferent this time was that I added a single article to digg, just to see how it works, is it that I got that many visitors using RSS hence it registered a 'non-robot url type in/refresh' instead?

Ahmed,
when you add stories in Digg, its not only the web stories but also RSS feed goes around the net.Digg deliver it across the net almost every single rss agreegator including MSN live and Yahoo.

and there are many site who use Diggs RSS to catch stories. so you will have traffic from lots of place.

And the truth is RSS gives much reader than web, in my case i always noticed it.
11. October 1st 2006 @ 09:06. Ahmed Says:
hmm, I see.

That means I got like 60% of my visitors from RSS from DIGG.

If I knew it would boost traffic that much I would have posted a link to a better article, now I must have put off a good numer of peple from my blog...
12. October 1st 2006 @ 09:17. bloggism Says:
I usually digg every 2-3 days 1 good post that boost traffic plus digg point. Cause the higher the digg point is it gives more traffic and Loyal readers.

For me my 70% readers come from RSS.

Aside from digg redit is another choice.
