Little something about Digg!

If you guys are not using digg, then you better start! Just two days after signing up with digg and submitting 3 articles!

These are my analytics numbers!



digg.com[referral] 41 1.44

Has anyone else seen traffic like this from the first two days of using digg?

It's pretty powerful, and this backs that up!

Comments?

 

Is that 41 Visitors on digg for 3 articles? I am sorry to say, but that's actually not a great example of the power of digg. A successful story would look something like this:

 

Also, your 41 Visitors averaged 1.44 Page Views. That means that more than half of the people visiting your site left after viewing the first page.

 

Right I understand what you are saying! But have you ever tried something for free and got 41 uniques out of it?

 

Yes, there are hundreds of places to get free traffic, its a short term boost worth tapping into for its added benefits.

 

this is for a blog, I'm guessing? It seems to be pretty worthless for anything that isn't one.

 

Not exception but it's free traffic right, I'll take all I can get. Unfortunately it's hard to predict what will and won't be viral. Hit or miss, but when you hit you'll hit it big

good luck

 

ohk, it looks like somebody stumbled upon digg.com and is shoutin eureka eureka, no offense meant, just seeing it in a lighter moments.

fyi, been there done that and moved on, thats my story, i hope this one hits front page.

 

just don't get caught up by always submitting your own articles, your URL will most likely get banned.

 

41 people actually clicked on your link!! Whoa. If you spent every waking moment you may be able to trick a few thousand into visiting your site a day. Thats great fun and all, but then what?

Is this a joke?

Has to be.

 

hey we all started somewhere and if 41 clicks is good for him then let him have it. Why rain on his 41 clicks parade?

Good work dude! Keep at it and one day you may get 41,000 clicks.

 

Yep it's a joke, and not for a blog, it's a forum! I only submitted a couple links. Come on guys, do you think I would actually try something before reading about it on here? Well, wickedfire is a better source than DP, but there are a lot more posts here than over there!

Enough of that, I was just trying to share some information for people who have never tried digg before! Looks like I got on the other end of the rod and reel with all the hatred?

 

This is just typical DP banter...I wouldn't go as far as calling it hatred. I think your success story is a little counterintuitive and would NOT make want to go through the hassle of using digg. Remember now, you got 41 visitors from 3 articles...those articles took time to write so it's not really free.

 

With digg you get a few visitors the first day you submit your story and if it hasn't made the first page or doesn't make the first page then this traffic will slowly trickle of as days go by.

 

C'mon dude,u dont have to take every comment personally, I dunno where did this hatred word come up from in ur mind. Wat u should see is that, there are people out here who are not satisfied with the traffic they are gettin from digg, so u see there are people who are in totally different league. Move along with them, and pretty soon, u would say the same thing, cause u would be that big.

No, i m not gonna apologize for my statement just cause u took it in the wrong sense.

Peace!

 

Dont worry bout it - most here love tooting their own horns.. just theirs is bigger than yours right now.

Keep at it. Its better than zero - you can certainly go further.

Best,
JL

 

Yes, it is better than zero, that's what I was saying in the first place! Some people don't realize that everyone is not getting gobs of traffic all the time! That made my day getting traffic from somewhere other than what I was used to! Thanks for the incouragement!

 

I've had sites on both digg and shoutwire that have sent thousands of visitors, but I found the traffic to be pretty worthless. Very few repeat visitors or ad rev. But it can't hurt, plus I've seen google count backlinks from digg.

 

I tend to agree on that. I got to digg homepage twice and got about 60.000 visitors but not too many coversions.
The good part is the SEO as digg is an authority web site, plus there are many bloggers who get your articles and link them.
Digg is a nice resource for free traffic but not something to depend on. And I guess the best strategy is to have content that people there like. Submitting each and every page of your site doesn't really helps

 

I had one story that got dug - 1290 visitors on one day, about 4000 total. It can be nice. But not very sticky traffic - people click in, scan the page, then click somewhere else. But I'm not complaining - if 1% or 0.1% of that free traffic bookmarked my site, I came out ahead.
