Digg It For More Traffic

Digg.com is useful for lensmasters in a few different ways. Squidoo even makes it easy for us to Digg lenses by having the button on the right side of every lens.

One way that Digg is good for your lenses is for a link. This is perhaps the least important benefit that you can gain from this popular Web 2.0 site.

The second reason you should use Digg is traffic. After an initial Digg, you may receive a trickle of traffic. However, if you play your cards right, you will receive thousands of visitors to your lens if you can make it to the elusive first page on Digg.

The trick to getting to the first page and to gaining lots of traffic on Digg is by having lots of friends. If you can get your friends to Digg your lens, this will increase your chances of being promoted.

One thing to remember when using Digg is to digg more than just your lens. You should digg other sites that you find interesting or useful. This will keep you from being seen as a spammer.

Perhaps the most important reason to use Digg is for backlinks from other sites. A large number of Digg users are blog owners. These bloggers are known to blog about or link back to the popular stories found on Digg which can result in loads of links and traffic. If you make a really good lens, it can go viral and then you will have hit the motherload in traffic.
