For me, a new blogger with not so many reader, I think it's neccessary to write for digg in order to gain a decent traffic, :smile: nice opinion here.

The long term effect of Digg hit may include so much needed link juice, visibility and SEO long term effect. So hey, I'd take a first page Digg place.. But not make it my ultimate marketign goal of course. I agree that Digg is way overrated, but there are still of plenty benefits besides the one-two day of traffic spike.

Too much work for a non constant traffic. Interesting article, I am new to Digg, and what I've experienced is pretty the same with what describes the article.

You should focus on the quality of your posts - not aim for traffic only. (If your posts are good - traffic will come anyway). Cheers Very good article – the "big" community sites like Digg or deli.cio.us are usless for small bloggers. You should focus on the quality of your posts – not aim for traffic only.

Don't write for Digg, don't write for Google, etc.. If you write a good content other people can enjoy it and share in their community... Thanks for this post.

I use Digg. But I don't use it expecting to make it to their front page. I think I got more of a chance getting struck by lightening. However, the reason why I use Digg is the fact that my Digg articles that directly link to the articles that I felt were worth Digging end up getting indexed very quickly in Google. I am all about volume and longtail. I literally have thousands and thousands of pages in Google that source back to over 100 different blogs. As each blog only has a very limited amount of traffic, you have to understand that globally across the board of all my blogs I am looking around 100,000 to 200,000 per day. It's difficult to run one blog and get it to an equally high level as all my blogs combined. I use Digg to just as yet another reference back to my post and or other posts that interest me and I feel like sharing with others. I have no expectation to get onto Digg's homepage. Great article, I enjoyed reading it. Best Regards, Garry Conn Good post.

Then one day one of his posts got Dugg, lots. I can't even remember what it was about now, but the vast majority of his work was good and the post probably deserved it. It must have been something new to him though, because his post the next day was entirely devoted to asking his readers to Digg everything else he'd already posted. I was so turned off that I don't think I've ever been back again. I used to read a certain blogger all the time (I'm not naming names) and regarded him quite highly.

For a serious blogger the choice between 15 minutes of fame and a blog with real staying power should be a no brainer. When you're constantly obsessing over diggs, you don't have the time to develop a loyal readership. Great post! I agree 100%.
