So How Do I Do This?

Digg.com works by people “Digging” interesting articles and pages on sites, a bit like how Google evaluates a page by looking at how many people have linked into it or if its mentioned on Social Networks. These Digg’s are counted all the time and web pages that receive the most “diggs” in a certain amount of time (usually within 24 hours) get featured, giving the story/page more exposure to other Digg users sop they can Digg it also.

This rush of traffic can continue if properly taken advantage of. Make sure you have the systems in place for people to mark your content as important to other Social Networks and for them to be able to sign up to newsletters or updates.
