If you’re a regular reader here, then you know one of my favorite subjects is how to use Digg and other social bookmarking sites for promote your articles. We’ve had our ups and downs with Digg, but overall, making it to the front page of Digg can be an excellent way for a new site to generate some initial traffic and demonstrate the quality of writing they have to offer.
There have literally been hundreds of posts on the Blogosphere with tips and techniques for reaching the Digg front page. Some of the advice is of a decent quality while others clearly have no clue what they are talking about. One of the questions I constantly get asked here at Bookmark Bliss is how we were able to reach the Digg front page on several of our articles? The best answer I can give to that is by learning from those who have tested it out ad nauseam, and combining their techniques into one that worked for us.
With that in mind, I’ve compiled 10 excellent posts detailing techniques that should help you get started in your quest for the elusive Digg front page formula. Keep in mind though, no tip is flawless and you have to experiment yourself until you figure out what works best for your site. So, without further ado, I bring you THE LIST:

If you’re a digg fanatic you may want to check out a recent article on seopedia. Apparently digg is banning people if they digg an article too quickly; digg says they’re not reading the whole thing so it’s basically a spam digg. Pretty interesting conversation going on about it.
Very nice collection of articles. Thanks! I already had some of them by other I didn’t know about.
I’m not expecting any RSS subscribers from a Digg article, but I’m interested in the backlinks
.
Does anyone have an idea about how many articles per month hit the front page of digg.com, or where i can find this stats?
