digg.com is one of the most powerful and significant source of traffic for bloggers. But traffic from Digg can be inconsistent as one day you may get thousands of visitors and other day it can dry up quickly. Because of this lot of bloggers do not try to learn how to maximize traffic from Digg.
There are so many things that one can do as a blogger to improve the consistency of the traffic you receive from Digg. Here are some tips:
1. Posting Frequently
You will notice that your new posts will get traffic from Digg. After a few days the traffic to a new post will die down pretty significantly, but you can adjust that by continuing to publish new articles. Not every post you publish will get a lot of traffic from Digg, so of course you can not just continually publish anything and expect it to draw traffic. But new content will frequently replace the traffic that is declining to an older post.
2. Be Active User at Digg
A big part of getting traffic from Digg is being an active user yourself. It is hard to expect Digg to generate traffic to your blog if you are not willing to use it to send traffic to others. Those who use Digg only to promote their own content rarely have much success. Be willing to vote for others and submit quality content.
3. Do not Try to Push Everything that You Write
Not every post will be attractive to Digg users, and that is fine. When you write posts that you do not think will have success with Digg, do not submit them. You will have better results if you only push those posts that have a better chance of success. If you have friends that you occasionally ask for a vote, save it for the right time. This may sound counterproductive to the point of this article, drawing consistent traffic.
4. Build Power Profiles
Top users of Digg can create traffic almost anytime. If you have a powerful profile you can quickly turn a traffic drought into a flood. But power users do not submit their own articles, but at least you will have the option if you need the traffic.
5. Write About Digg
One of the most popular topics among Digg users is Digg itself. If you use Digg you have probably noticed that posts that focus on Digg tends to do well. If the topic of your blog is relevant to Digg you may be able to increase the amount of traffic you receive by writing more frequently about topics related to Digg.
6. Develop Relationships with Those Who Vote for You
One way to encourage votes in the future is to thank those who vote for you or just get to know them. With Digg you can see who has dugg your posts and add them as a friend.
7. Follow Up On Topics that Have Worked Well In the Past
Have you analyzed your traffic from Digg to see which topics have drawn the most attention? If you see trends you can learn about what types of content will be likely to produce similar results in the future. Past success can be a good indicator of what will result in future and consistent success.
8. Develop a Loyal Following
Bloggers that have very large audiences have so many readers that use Digg that many of them are bound to vote or submit the blog’s content. What may be more realistic is to develop a very loyal audience that looks for opportunities to send Digg traffic to you. You can do this by doing the same thing for other bloggers and treating your readers well.
