How to Become Digg Power user? This time make it better

Before you move further do remember there is no shortcut to success and if you are reading this to promote only your posts I will rather say this is just an article which gives you some power tip which help you understanding Digg better and help us to make it more beautiful community.

It’s most common thing that people say that it is as easy to get on the Digg front page just dugg and dugg. For those people I will say it’s never the way and it’s never will.

It’s true that story submitted by a power user is recognized more but you can’t take things for granted that It will make a Front page without good article and reliable resources.

Now what do I mean by reliable sources :

It’s very true that there are few white listed websites like Mashable, blog.wired and many more which require less Digg to make FP then other sites and if we start talking about the discrimination on it that can lead us to endless debate.

I can justify the concept of white listed website as right from Digg point of view and I can also justify it as a wrong decision from a normal user point of view.

I have joined Digg almost an year ago though i was not using it for a while but an old profile helped me a lot.
People always suggested me that Stumble upon is more powerful then Digg and that’s why because the traffic from Digg is not ever lasting where as Stumble upon traffic last for long time.

I would not have supported Digg but then when one of my other blog post made homepage and then the Google analytic stats gone made almost 20K click in a single day.

Then i started looking back to things in more analytic way, went through my history and submission and all the details related to my Digg account and finally i got to know few things and thought i should share it with my readers.

First of all Digg is a powerful tool which can make your blog and can break your blog so its very important that you should use it wisely.

There is no shortcut for anything, so you have to spent some quality time on Digg. It is very true Digg need quality time and it’s up to you if you want to be a part of it or not.

My suggestion before start submitting anything understand digg for almost 2 weeks. Understand what kind of quality people are actually looking for, what is blogspam and then most important understand the simple concept of digg.

Oh yes I forget to mention do read the Digg TOS else you might feel bad later when your account might get deleted and banned for violation of any of these TOS. This is what happened to many of the Digg users.

Many of you have joined Digg to promote stuff but don’t forget majority is the people who joined Digg because of interest and who scan everything before it make a Front page.

Digg has two button Digg and bury. I will rather call Digg as Digg bury game where if you enjoy something Digg else bury. One more important thing to understand why Digg made so many category so that people can select there own niche. Though for becoming a power user you don’t have to stick to it because in the end you have to face the harsh truth that you going to Digg a lot. Stuff which you never read and things you have no interest you are going to Digg them because there is a part of give and take relation on Digg.

Anyways getting back to the point,

I have seen many people who have 1001 friends, sounds great !!Not worthy
No you are wrong, because even they have 1000 friends but still they have hardly 100-150 mutual friends and that’s the catch. Read more
