A Guide to Link Building with Digg – Part 4

October 20, 2008 by Admin

So how do you get the Diggs you need? Well it is actually fairly easy. You need to use your friends feature. Each of the social networking sites will allow you to find friends, family, and coworkers that use Digg. If you can let these individuals know that you are posting and have them read your information as soon as possible you can get to the front page. Chances are they will want to see what you are up to. You don’t just have to use people you know. In fact you can search out friends on Digg.

By finding like individuals on the site you can submit a request to be their friend. If they accept you can start telling them about yourself and build a relationship. Chances are when you start sending out information about new posts they will be interested enough to go look. You don’t want to just be about the links and the page views though. You should seek them out because you intend on being an online friend above what you are trying to promote. If they have articles posted you need to make sure you post on theirs as well for a nice symbiotic relationship.

The more friends you have on a site the better your chances of getting on the front page and succeeding in your endeavor. In order to succeed with any social networking site you need commitment. You can’t just post and expect that you will get out your content out there and improve your links. You have to have a great article worthy of the front page. You also have to be able to establish friends who will be interested in keeping tabs on what you do.
The more frequently you get on the top page of Digg the better your submitter status will get. You need a high submitter status so that you will eventually be able to offer less content and still get the results you want.

Values Change

With Digg the values for rankings can change. For example some of the friends you have may be voting in blocks. In this case they are always offering a consistent post to help increase their chances of a story getting to the top. This consistent behavior can be seen as abuse on the Digg site. It is great to have your friends, but you can’t stay in the same tight circle. All posts can’t just be traded back and forth. This could get you kicked off the ratings you need. In fact it could put an end to your account.

A range of users need to offer a Digg to your story. You need to have friends, but more you need to have unknown individuals also making posts.
