Blog Tip Tuesday: Promoting your Blog with Digg

Written on July 1st, 2008 by Graham

Ok so we all know what Digg is. We all know that hitting the homepage can bring in a server-crippling amount of traffic. It’s the stuff dreams are made of. Now, many of you might sit back in your office chairs, folds your arms and say “I’ll never hit the homepage.” And I’m here to tell you that you can. We all can.

The fact is that bloggers LOVE Digg. At any given time, something like 25% of the links on the Digg homepage point directly to blogs. Many of the most active Digg users are bloggers themselves. It seems logical that this enclave of bloggers would have a soft spot on their clicking-finger for other blogs. That’s good news for us!

Let’s explore how we can help each other get the most out of this service, shall we? After all, a traffic spike from Digg reaches us ever higher towards our goals as bloggers. It can add hundreds of subscribers overnight, because the Digg spotlight shines hard on your content. If people like it, they’ll subscribe.

Stop.

Get yourself an account right now if you don’t already have one. If you do have one, log in immediately. If you lost your password, retrieve it now here.

At this point, everyone should have a digg account and be logged in.

Let’s get one thing clear

Entrecard is a powerful community of bloggers who have a habit of rallying in support of each other. Part of the power that we have, as a driven community, is to show up in numbers to help each other. Just ask Ken Armstrong, when over 150 Entrecarders showed up on his blog this past Sunday to share a comment.

Many Entrecarders love to Digg people’s articles as they drop. In fact, if everyone made a habit of digging the posts they liked as they dropped, Entrecard traffic would become a much more powerful tool for all of us. And all it takes is a single click.

Adding the Digg button to your posts

I believe that if a fellow Entrecarder enjoys a post of yours, they would be more than happy to give you a Digg. After all, it takes just a single click. But you have to make it painfully easy for them. This is where the Digg button comes into play. It looks like this:

and it allows people to submit your post to Digg if they haven’t already, and it also allows people to add a Digg if it has already been submitted. The code is as simple as adding an Entrecard widget, but must be placed in the actual post itself. Here’s the code you need to add to your posts:

<script src=”http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>

You should make sure this button is in embedded into every post you write.

Content is King

As with any strategy for getting exposure for your blog, it starts with having quality content. Only great content gets to the home page of Digg, and the Digg team has done an amazing job of developing an algorithm and community that ensures it. This is why it continues to increase in popularity. Day in, day out, only great content hits the homepage of Digg. That’s not to say that no one is gaming the system. I’ve personally talked to people, top 100 diggers, who would routinely accept $10,000 cash payments to promote stories to the front page. You’d be surprised to learn who they are, because they’re actually prominent figures in the blogging arena. But my point here is that even the people paying thousands of dollars to compromise the integrity of the system are smart enough to know that it won’t work unless they are promoting entertaining, thought provoking, or insightful content. So, to recap, digging won’t do anything for you with poor content. If you aren’t going to really focus on making great content for your blog, you should probably stop blogging.

I should probably note here that Entrecard does not condone in any way the “gaming” of Digg. In fact, we’re taking a hard line stance against it. You may notice that all Digg related items have been removed from the shop. It is not acceptable to offer Credits in exchange for Diggs. This is for your own good. All it takes it one wrong move to you to get banned from Digg permanently -and then what good will it do for your blog? At first we embraced the notion of a free economy, letting people buy and sell whatever they wanted so long as it was legal. Now, after seeing people repeatedly abuse our economy to black hat social media, we’ve firmly decided to take steps to ensure that Entrecard is not being used to facilitate any such gaming of Digg, or StumbleUpon for that matter.

Getting Active – Making your Digg count

Digg’s front-page-promotion engine values everyone’s Digg differently. Members who are more active in the community, who comment on articles, friend people, and Digg regularly are given more weight. You won’t find this information on the Digg website, but trust me that it’s true. Now before you go getting overwhelmed, because friending people and digging regularly sounds like a lot of work, we can start a community right here. The whole thing can be fun and a natural expansion of the social network we already have on EC. Just by friending fellow Entrecarders, and Digging a post or two each day, we can jump start the algorithm to start taking all of our Diggs more seriously. This will pay off in spades.

If I haven’t made it abundantly clear that you should all have Digg accounts, let me do so now. Digg isn’t going to go away any time soon, and the sooner you get involved, the sooner it will help you get to the top. Forget about all the other social media buttons you can add to your blog. Forget Newsvine, Mixx, Sphinn, BumpZee and all the imitators. Digg is king, and effectively using it will do more for you than all the other social media sites put together.

The Call to Action

What I’d like us all to do now is friend each other on Digg, and thus bring the EC community to Digg. To do this, you’ll need to comment on in this post and share your Digg username. Then, do the following:

1.) Go to the comments below.

2.) Find the comments in which I, Graham, list links to everyone’s profiles who’s added to the list.

3.) Visit each link to go to the Digg profile of an Entrecarder, and click “add friend” to add them as a friend.

4.) Add everyone listed to your friends, and check back as we continue to update the list throughout the day.

Now, we’ll all have some friends on Digg who are fellow Entrecarders. We can all start digging the posts that we enjoy as we drop, and help bring even more traffic to each others blogs. What could be better than that? I can’t help but wonder if the 150 people who enjoyed Ken’s post on Music and Driving could have helped him get to the homepage of Digg…

UPDATE:
A lot of people are getting not founds for people that exist. So, I’ve created links to everyone’s profile who’s added themselves thus far. All you have to do is go to the link and “add friend” on their profile. Everyone on this list does, in fact, exist (except Shozbot I think, couldn’t find him).

Nice idea.

Unfortunately, many of us write content that DIgg (the site) isn’t the least bit interested in.

This would have been a GRET idea had you selected a more inclusive social networking site such as Blogging Zoom, Mixx, etc. so that a more diverse group of bloggers could participate.

75

Is there a limit as to how many friends you can add within a time frame? About five names in a row can’t be found.

I don’t mind digging anyone’s post if they “send me a shout” through digg with the link. It’s easier that way…

87
The Realtor Says:

This is what should be stormed… Great idea…Outside of an unnamed member’s comments, this is what keeps me here, the actual possibility of increased social network help and blog building… This is what this community should be utilized for. Thanks for the updated list.

JohnLeSainte Says:

I’ve added a Lot of you as friends. I’ve also moved the main home page Digg Button Directly next to my Entrecard Widget at the top of the page. I certainly recommend at least adding one next to everyone’s Entrecard widget. To see mine,

http://nostradamusnewpredictions.blogspot.com/

The Digg Button Widget fits well right next to the Entrecard Slim Widget in Blogger.

Does anyone know how to add the Digg Widget into the Blogger Posts? I have the Feed Flares at the bottoms of each post but they are rarely used.

It would be nice to have icons at the bottom too inside of just the words, Digg It or Reddit or Furl it. Having those little icons in Blogger must be possible.

Remi Says:

OK. I have added all the names from the list.

What do you guys suggest? Digging articles during the drop, or going to digg, and digging from the friend’s page. The second solution looks more efficient to me. That said, if the EC group grows beyond a certain size, I might not have enough time to digg in addition to the dropping.

Any suggestion like going by smaller groups, and only digging on the posts that are taking off?

I’m in! My Digg name is MLMSage

So, how is this button supposed to work? Are we presupposed that the articles or blog have been submitted to Digg and the button just give it a digg? Surely the button will not submit? I guess I’m confused about the technical details of the button dealie…

116
Graham Says:

Actually Pam, the button will submit if your post has not been submitted yet, and will add a Digg if it has been submitted. We recommend that you do not submit your own articles, but let others do it for you if they like it.

B. Rene Williams Says:

Some people were asking why their Digg button doesn’t show up.

If you cut & pasted the snippet of code from the article in order to create the Digg button, you would have run into the problem of pasting incorrectly formatted quotation marks into your HTML page.

Simply go over these quotation marks and type new ones directly into the page you are building. For me, this gets rid of incorrectly formatted quotation marks from other programs. They should look like this ” not like this ”

Good luck, B. Rene

B. Rene Williams Says:

Ha ha, no difference in those two quotation marks when I posted. Anyway, you’ll see the difference in the way they look when you type them onto the HTML page. They should look straight not slanted.

I went to the diggtools page and copied the code directly from their page, and that doesn’t work.
I’m on blogspot, does that create issues?

Jo Says:

I’m cornerscribe on Digg.

I’m friending everyone now.

I have a couple questions…

1. how do you handle it if you have multiple blogs? Digg only allows one blog linked, and I think it violates their TOS to have multiple identities.

2. Is anything similar in the works for StumbleUpon?

Thanks, great idea!

Jo Says:

Here’s a little help for wordpress users, if you need it.

I added the digg button to both index.php and single.php

Index.php will control the home page, and single.php controls single post pages. This will enable your digg button to show up on the bottom of posts in both places.

Open the file to edit it and add the line Graham provided after the php call to get the content. That will look something like this (your theme may differ slightly).

Hope that’s helpful!

LuckyGirl Says:

HELP!!!!!
Somebody (maybe Jo?) offered a link for making the button code work in blogger/blogspot. It still doesn’t work for me, but now I know why, and need help more than ever. The code from Digg is javascript, and Blogspot will not allow you to put javascript in your posts. I read all the info at the suggested link, and then details of similar fixes on other blogs, but the problem is that the code I’m supposed to find and replace in my template does not exist in my template. The explanations of how to fix were all written in 2007, and I wonder if blogger updated things since then so that the new code is different now.

C-Squared Says:

Hello,

I think it should be worth mentioning that Digg articles only hit the front page within the first 24 hours (give or take a few hours). Digging up old posts is relatively pointless.

You will also typically need Diggs in the range of 70-150 to get to the frontpage.

220
Flisha Says:

Hi everyone, my Digg URL is here:

http://digg.com/users/flisha

And to everyone with problems integrating the Digg button in their post, just place this code:

<div class="separator" style="text-align: center; float:left; border: 0pt none ; background-color: transparent; clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; float: left; margin-right: 1em;"><script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div>

before you start each post. That way your text will wrap around the button. You can check my site to see how it looks.

221
Flisha Says:

Oh and you might also want to place it in your post template (Blogger Settings -> Fomatting -> Post Template) so you don’t have to paste it everytime you start a new post. :-)

I thought the same thing at first. There’s a check box at the upper right of the template window, “expand widget templates.” Once you check that, you should see the line for the body the tutorial has you look for.

Dayo Says:

@LuckyGirl
I can see @ Majik already sent you a PM on this, have you been able to get it to work? If not, then what you need to do is parse the code and only then will it work in blogger

varkeychaya Says:

Hi, Some of your themes might be getting messed up when you add the digg button instead of using the standard code here is a hack which might solve your problems.

Use this code instead

digg_url=”;
digg_window = ‘new’;

note: this is for mainly for wordpress users. other blog users just need to replace the with the link required eg. http://www.livegrids.net

What the additional code does is that it creates a section for the button that floats. This means that the text will flow around the button and it should not spoil your post’s theme the ‘digg_window = new’ specifies to open the digg window in a new window so that it’s easier to Digg.

If you are wondering how it will look you can head over to my site where I have already added this hack if you want to see an example. It’s here at http://www.livegrids.net

I haven’t gone through every comment, so I’m not sure it’s been mentioned. There’s a great Wordpress plugin called Slashdiggilicious; makes social bookmarking easy.

I use it and it’s given me no problems. For my Blogger blogs, I use the AddThis button. You can get the code for that here.

You’ve have to insert the code in your Blogger template.

If you have blogger, definitely use the method described here:
http://tips-for-new-bloggers.blogspot.com/2007/03/add-digg-button-to-blogger-or-blogspot.html
You only add it once in the template, not per post.

Also, if you do the one line per post way, it doesn’t work properly. I had been doing that until now, and if somebody diggs your post from your home page and not the posts permalink page, the digg doesn’t work properly. My count was always all screwed up.

I just changed mine and it is great. And no remembering to add digg each post.

Theresa Says:

Quick Tip:

Instead of visiting every’s profile page, you can go to Graham’s Friends’ page and add everyone by clicking on the +Friend button next to their name.

http://digg.com/users/EntreLangdon/friends/view

It’ll also help you avoid clicking on ones you’ve already added.

LuckyGirl Says:

You guys are awesome–thank you! Even with all your tips and links I couldn’t figure the button thingie out, but I turned all the info over to Mr. LuckyGirl and he had me set within minutes. Unfortunately, this meant he read my latest post and discovered I forgot our anniversary….

302
Graham Says:

317
Matt Urdan Says:

I’ve just added everyone as friends! Easiest way to add: go to Graham’s page, and click the buttons on his friend’s list. Very fast and efficient.

If I could make a usage suggestion:

Rather than receiving 200 + shouts a day from everyone, could you please only send shouts on your very best post of the week? That will keep shouts to a minimum and keep all our mailboxes from getting clogged up.

I respect everyone’s time. I’ll only request diggs on what I consider to be really special posts of mine….I hope you’ll do the same. That being said, I plan on clicking “digg” every time I see a post I like on all of your blogs, and I hope you’ll do the same on mine.

If you can, I’m really going for a $100 monthly prize on yearblook right now. I would appreciate it if could click here and vote: http://www.yearblook.com/story.php?title=meltwater-torrents-meanderings-delta-circles

And digg! http://www.yearblook.com/story.php?title=meltwater-torrents-meanderings-delta-circles

Thanks everyone!

Been Friends new friends based on Grahams friends and from here as well. For droppers to my blog – I would love if you picked which podcast you like the most and digg it. Below each of my posts I have a series of social network buttons. Just click the Digg one.
The Site is http://www.handyguyspodcast.com/

I will do my best to reciprocate with a drop and a digg as well.

Like was said – Digg quality content and only shout about the most exceptional stuff.

Thanks all!

I would like some to know if you send offensive entries someone like me may not read them. Try to keep it at least R rated. I am all for freedom of speech, but it is waste of time to send me stuff I am not going to read.

A few really generic entries are better than a targeted entry.

THANKS EVERYONE!

Matt Urdan Says:

For the 150 of you or so that haven’t added me as a friend yet, I just shouted this out to the other 100 who are on the ball. ;) Just kidding!

Hello my Fellow EntreCarders:

Just some observations after a day of using DIGG with EntreCard:
1. This is an amazing tool and community! I’ve discovered new blogs and dropped on them and some great posts that I probably wouldn’t have otherwise.
2. Thank you Graham for initiating this. Only you could have pulled this off so quickly.
3. Traffic to my blog has spiked over daily hourly averages.
4. My email inbox has been hopping with shouts and friend notices.

If I could make a request to the group:
1. Please only send shouts to request diggs for truly superior content. I think all of us that are participating will now be looking for your digg button every time we drop, so a special shout out is not necessary to request a dig unless it’s a special occurrence. Keeping shouts to the entire group will help keep our email inboxes manageable.
2. Please continue to post genuine comments on everyone’s posts. But it is not necessary to comment on a post: “I dugg your post, please digg mine.”
3. Along with that, I think to make the most out of digg and entrecard, every digg user should favorite their posts on a daily basis. If you look at your favorites on your main profile in Digg, you will see a tab that allows you to see who dugg your post. I’ve already responded to all the bloggers who have dugg my post “Circles” via a shout out, but I intend to visit those blogs personally and to comment. I think this combines the best of all worlds. For those bloggers that digg your posts, visit their current post, and IF you like the post, please comment. This will increase all of our traffic and help bring us all together as a community that is really here to help each other. But at the same time, we all have our own interests and we probably won’t want to digg 200 posts on a daily basis the way we drop 300 cards. Does that make sense to everybody?

That being said, I want to thank everyone who has dugg my posts today, and who has dugged “Circles” especially and voted for it on Yearblook. I’m trying to win the June $100 Prize for having the most popular post in June. If all of you could visit Yearblook and vote for me here http://www.yearblook.com/story.php?title=meltwater … , I would greatly appreciate it! And again, if you have already done so, thank you so much! Also, I encourage everyone to read Circles. If I had written it a week later, I would have nominated it to Graham for the comment rush–it’s a post that really applies to what we are all doing as bloggers, and I hope you’ll take time to read the post and digg it if you feel it is worthy. http://michiganrafter.blogspot.com/2008/06/circles

Thank you so much everyone. I’m really digging this!

Suburban Survivalist Says:

Almost every time I open a digg page I am logged out. After I log in, I can click on link, but then am logged out even on that page. I am not able to add links or anything because I keep being told to log in… *grumble* I do not have this kind of problem with any other site, and I’ve tested in on all three of my computers and it is doing it to all three… Is anyone else having this problem?

345
Graham Says:

Ok people, looks like we’re going straight to 300!

347
Jennifer Says:

What would be great would be if we now had a list of all the names of the blogs of all the people that signed up. I can only match up some of the user names with their blogs. It would make it so much easier to go right to their blogs. I dropped over 100 cards today and only a few had digg buttons. It seems most of the blogs I regularly drop on are not in this group.

Any way to match up the user names with the blogs?

348
Jo Says:

Jennifer, I agree! It seems that only some people have added their blogs to their digg profile as well. Even so, it would be so much faster if we had a list — we could subscribe to the RSS and know when blogs are updated.

Didn’t I see an earlier post where someone mentioned putting one together?

Jennifer Says:

Graham

It would be great if you could somehow remind everyone that the whole intent of this was to digg while dropping. The shouts are getting out of hand. Also if finding that many of these friends I’ve added from this don’t have entrecard widgets. So the plan of digging and dropping together has gone slightly awry.

Nigerian Entrepreneur Says:

@Graham
This is definitely a good job well done. I have added over 180 friends from this post and I still intend to add all others.

However, just as several individuals wanted to mis-use the Entrecard System and would have succeeded if not for strict regulations, so we must guide against this idea becoming a negative tool.

I consider it embarrassing when a member of this group goes to a blog and drop a comment such as

“I dug this post, I will like you to reciprocate by digging mine”

That has a very negative impact on other readers visiting such website as they will simply assume that the number of COMMENTS, DIGGS and other statistics presented on the blog were gotten through BLACK HAT TRAFFIC TRICKS.

Please draw up a little Do and Don’ts for the group less the whole effort become a waste.
Regards.
