When i first started on the net i read somewhere that if you submit your stuff to digg you can get heaps of traffic. So i headed over to Digg.com and submitted a couple pages from my site lol checked Google Analytics the next day and saw that i recieved 2 visitors haha i gave up on digg right then and there. Around 2 months ago i was speaking to a pretty successful webmaster and he gave me the key to digg... friends!
The thing with digg these days is that people are posting stuff every second! Your lucky if you post stays on the up and comming page for more that 10 minutes lol so you need to get a shit load of friends, and then send the "shout out"! So go to digg and add as many friends as you can - i think the limit is around 1000 these days, but it changes all the time i think. It's really easy, you just click on a username and friend them, then add all their freinds (you can only add friends one by one lol painful). It will prob take you a week to get upto 1000 freinds - you can only add around 30-50 before digg has a cry and say you've been adding friends to quickly lol they stop you from "friending" for around 5-10 minutes and then your all set to go again.
So once you have your friends you submit your content, then you send a shout to your friends. I've found that digg limit you to shouting to around 100 friends at a time. So you have to break the shouting up into groups.
When you shout i've found its best to send a nice message such as: "Just thought you might like to check this out. Hope all is well :) Digg if you like..." etc etc. However i've noticed alot of people use a more direct tone such as - "Digg this and i'll digg yours" lol funny thing is that i usually digg these kinda shouts haha so experiment a little bit and let me know!
Couple other things before i finnish up. Make sure you use relevant and high traffic keywords in the title for your digg submission and obviously for the page your submitting. I've found that posts of mine that hit around 30 diggs rank really well on google - both the digg page and my sites page, google love digg lol
Anyway hope you all give this a go, i should warn you though, you will really only see results if you post quality content - this wont work with crap content, and im glad it doesnt lol
Hope to hear from you regarding your experiences with digg!
Nick.
