Blogging: Digg

by Perceval Mackendrick

Well, you think you have something that no other blog has? Well, you might want to check that up using google search once again. Chances are that there is already something posted about what you have posted somewhere else.


One of the rules of submitting a Digg is that you shouldn’t submit something that someone else has already written about or the same topic.

Well, then what constitutes your post to be something different that what someone else has already written about? Well, as that remains up to you, it never hurts to submit a Digg on your *special* post; the worst that can happen is that it will be rejected by many members of Digg, and you’ll be exactly where you started from.

But, think about it this way: Isn’t it worth the chance to submit a Digg article and maybe gain millions of visiters to your site in the course of a month or so?

Looking at it optimistically, you should always submit a Digg post to something that you feel that is really extraordinary. As a natural habit of Digg, the post shouldbe somthing that you feel other people should really know about.

Sometimes, even a lengthy post about some stupendous youtube video can get a decent about of Digg views. If you really think about it, Digg is the heaven of linking to blogs. If you get your post submitted to the DIgg network, there are so many possibilities that people will be going to your blog from there.

Well, that is the thought for Tuesday. I hope you enjoyed it, and if you have time, please see Digg for the obscure rules and such.
