What is Digg.com?
Digg.com is a social media website that lists and organizes hyperlinks based on users’ votes. There are no editors. Links are submitted by the Digg community, with users encouraged to view the content and vote on it. The more “diggs” a link gets, the more prominent its placement.
A website that gets enough votes can ascend to the Digg homepage, where a huge influx of Web traffic can flow to it. More than 17.6 million people visited Digg.com in November, according to Compete. Sites with links on Digg’s homepage can get traffic spikes that reach into the tens of thousands.
For a marketer, Digg.com can serve as a viral platform for content. Links on the Digg.com homepage can spread around the Web, generating hundreds, sometimes thousands, of inbound links.
Content is organized first by these platforms and then by topic. Topics for news, video and images are:
Technology
World & Business
Science
Gaming
Lifestyle
Entertainment
Sports
Offbeat
