    Default How does Digg work?

    Does someone make a post about your site or is it something that you have to do? Sorry if this is a dumb question but even reading what Digg is about, I still don't know exactly how it works. Basically I'm wondering if it depends on your interaction or someone else's?

    Idealy a person with a digg account will see your page and want to recommend it to others. However, people do often digg their own pages as well.

    Oh, ok. Are there any repercussions for Digg-ing your own page?

    Basically if people like the item they 'digg' it. The more diggs you have the better your chance of making it to the digg homepage and getting visitors to your site. The big problem with digg is that a small number of very powerfull users have control. Most stories submitted by 'normal' people get buried very quickly.

    Hey this is right. This is how digg is working. If you use it with good information than it will also help you to get reputation position in the Digg account.

    In most cases, people digg their own sites rather than other people. It is just a matter of your stories or content being interesting and popular to gain some good amount of traffic.

    Just make sure you don't spam digg, or suffer the consequences of it.

    You just need to submit it, other member will "digg" it or comment on it if they feel interesting on your article

    When you submit a story, it will automatically give it one "digg" (from you, since if you submitted it you obviously like it and think it belongs there!) Others will have to "digg" it from there. Certain people's diggs count more than others, although the exact algorithm is kept secret. The more people who digg it, the more likely it will go on the "front page" where more people can see it. That is the holy grail of Digg, to get on the front page.

    Side note: It's become more and more difficult to get dugg up, what with power users hogging up the front page. I prefer reddit now myself, both for submissions and for browsing. Much nicer, much cleaner, and a wider variety of stories.

    You can't digg your own submitted link unless you'll use different account name...

    Please click the 'THANKS' button instead of making thank you posts. It's a nice thing to do as it ads to people's rep points
