    If you can get an article on the front page of Digg, you can get thousands of unique visitors in a matter of days.

    How is the visitor behavior? Does they come back, stay for a while or just leave after reading.

    I think the traffics are temporary.

    The traffic is temporary, that's for sure.

    You get a short-term boost in traffic. Digg traffic tends to be low quality, as most of them know the difference between actual content and advertisements. If your content is really good some Digg members might blog about it with a link pointing to your site, so that could give you some help with the search engines and PR in the long-term.

    The real draw is others noticing your site and linking to it. It's a great way to advertise you have something worth linking to for other webmasters if you get enough diggs.

    I disagree that the traffic is temporary (i've been on the front page of Digg twice, so i know what i'm talking about) - It's true, you get a giant leap in traffic for a few days, but the traffic can continue for months.. i just made a blog post about how i'm still getting traffic from Digg after one year.

    Your bounce rate in near 100% from digg users. I've gotten on the digg frontpage several times, and you get delicioused, stumbleuponed ect. Your search rank goes up as a result too.

    The traffic is temporary,but if you content and article is good visitor will comeback.
    Digg will help you to promote yoursite but your content will be the one that keep visitor come back.

    If you get on the front page, it's a great way to get backlinks.
    I had one site. I submitted it 24 hours after making it. It made it to the front page and it instantly skyrocketed my site in the SERPs.
    True, I got thousands of unique visitors from those first days, but it dropped off to a permanent average of a few hundred per day and this is still continuing almost 2 years later.

    Digg traffic is huge in the beginning but slowly comes down. Although you keep some new readers or visitors

    you'll get a lot of traffic if you make it to the first page. but its short lived. I read digg several times a day, and very rarely bookmark a site to go back to.
