SEO - Use Digg To Make Your Website An Overnight Success

Internet marketers are going crazy over this new social network called Digg
and for good reason too. Using Digg correctly can send tens of thousands to
your website virtually overnight.

This is how Digg works: People register with the site, and thus join the
Digg community. These registered users then submit newsworthy or rather
"Digg" worthy content. A short summary of the news item is written about the
content. You can submit nearly anything to Digg; this includes videos,
stories, blog entries, funny pictures - Anything!

What then happens is "Registered Users" then "Digg" the story or whatever
has been submitted. The "Digg" is actually a vote for the content that was
submitted to Digg.

The stories with the highest number of "Diggs" make it onto the front page
of Digg. Stories can also be "Buried" which will send them shooting down to
rankings at Digg.

Digg stories are then kept in the up and coming section for around 12 - 24
hours.

If the story does not receive enough "Diggs" it is then sent to the Digg
homepage. If the story starts to get "buried" it will automatically
disappear.

Writing a good story that gets a number of Diggs, and by number I mean a few
hundred can produce tens of thousands of page views which will mean
thousands of visitors and potential customers to your websites.

To produce a popular story you need to write about something that will help
people, actually, writing about Digg itself is a very popular subject and
frequently makes it onto the top spot.

This is a form of viral marketing, get it right and your site will do
incredibly well, get it wrong and nothing will happen.
Site promotion like this is a far, far more powerful way of gaining
popularity and backlinks to your site than traditional Search Engine
Optimisation (SEO) Techniques.
