[WeBuyKidneys] - Social Bookmarking With Digg
Digg (http://www.digg.com) is by far one of the most popular Web 2.0 sites.
The concept behind Digg is simple – it enables its users to submit news stories that they find interesting. Other users then vote on the submitted story. If they like it, they will “digg” it. Otherwise, they will “bury” it. The more diggs a story receives, the more popular it becomes and is ranked higher. The highest ranking stories or articles are featured on the homepage of the website.
So, how can you use the power of Digg to drive traffic to YOUR website?
The basic fundamental rule is to submit content that is useful, informative and interesting to the Digg community. This makes sure that your story gets more diggs and gets more views. More views translate to more traffic for your website.
To submit a story to Digg, you will need to register a new account. Then, follow the steps below:
1. Click on the “Submit New” link at the top.
2. Enter the URL of the article or post or news item you want to submit
3. Select a proper category and sub-category for your article
4. Enter a title and description that is interesting and pulls in readers
5. Click “Submit Story” – THAT’S IT!
If you submit an interesting story that grabs the attention of the whole community, you will get a lot of views to your submission.
A high percentage of those viewers will click through to your Digg profile where you can provide a link to your website. If you’ve read through the above carefully, you must have realize just how powerful Digg can be. The more people click through to your profile (or story), the more traffic you can generate to your website.
Another method of generating traffic through Digg is to comment on stories submitted by other people. Digg allows users to post their comments and thoughts about other submissions. If you comment upon relevant stories that relate to your website and leave a link back to your website, more people are likely to click through to see your website.

Onward and upwards…
