Can someone please explain in a 1-2-3 matter how to get traffic with digg. Some of the things it would be nice to hear about are:

1.posting to digg and getting google traffic because your digg posts tend to rank well in google for medium competition/low competition keywords (best practices in posting i.e. tags, title, etc)

2. digg shouts and digg friends

3. etc etc.

looking forward to what the experts have to say?

diggs pretty mediocre as far as traffic is concerned unless you have an unflagged account with many active freidns

I know about the front page. but I'm trying to figure out how people get traffic with friends, shouts. also how do people use digg for seo? as I said, I know the digg posts can do well in google. do people try to digg a story then get people to click through from the digg post in google to their website? also, would backlinking a digg story to get it to no.1 fast help - in google that is? in other words I've done a blog post that may have landed on page 50 of google but the dugg story got to page 2....also, what about direct linking from a digg post to offers - any thoughts?!

Easy way to lower your ebay epc with digg is post your affiliate url in the comments on a auction story. People almost post funny/interesting ebay auctions on digg but it points to their blog (might be something worth trying later).

What you do is find the auction being discussed:

1. Make your own affiliate link to that auction.
2. Post your url in the comments and say it is a "Direct link" to the auction.

You will get many thanks and quite a few clicks.
I did this on the Aussie selling his life that was all in the news a bit ago, I got 300+ clicks.
I did make $6 but what I learned was far more valuable.

Good luck.

okay some things about digg...

using digg for seo:

• there are people who use this technic.. and it works for buzz keywords..
  any news about a new porn vid with paris... then try this..
  
• it is also good for serp domination.. if use wanna sell an ebook for exemple and don't want negativ reviews on the first page..
  
• BUT using digg for seo is a different thing..
  its just about the backlinks you get from all those other blogs.

digg traffic:

• digg traffic is complained to be useless for ppc... thats true
  
• when you use digg for seo, the traffic is more an annoying factor.. because you can't monetize it.. if you do, you wont get any backlinks..
  
• you said you know about the front page. there are a some ways to hit the frontpage very easy. but if your story is not what real digg-users would digg you wont get too many clicks.
  (and no backlinks at all)

I hate those sites, they tend to steal my ranking on google, they will eventually rank better with MY keywords the more I add stuff on them. :S
