How Do You Get Your Site On Digg's Front Page?If you're KTVZ, you just get oddball content off the AP wire that will occassionally get you a pile of traffic. But if you don't have an AP wire feed like they do, there are a couple of not-so-ethical methods to go about it. Either you can follow these 10 steps on the SEO Black Hat site, or just buy yourself some Diggs on User/Submitter. They'll get you on there, but I don't know if I'd be able to sleep at night. On a related note, I've gotten hit by Digg once (that I know of), and I didn't use either of those methods. 5 CommentsBarney said on 10/16/06 @ 08:58 PM:Uh, Jake? It wasn't "oddball content off the AP wire," as I explained in my blog, it was a pickup from NWCN.com of a KING5.com story. And after being Dugg, then Farked, today we were "Daily Rotten"ed. The saga continues... it's an amazing tale of what the Internet apparently is all about now - reading odd water-cooler stuff and commenting on it and posting it somewhere else, ad infinitum. Jake said on 10/16/06 @ 09:31 PM: My mistake barn, but I do know that you've gotten Farked with AP wire feeds before, correct? Barney said on 10/17/06 @ 08:06 AM: Actually, no, if you went back and read an April blog entry, you'd find it's a LOCAL story (the kids who lit a lighter huffing gas) that got Farked. Fortunately;-) Nathan said on 10/17/06 @ 08:28 PM: Now if someone would just run a national story on how outrageous the Central Oregon home market is.... Oh wait! they already did. :( Harry Blazer said on 10/18/06 @ 08:53 PM: Yo Barney, why don't you post a story about how Chicago, Paul Simon and Toto are at the "height of their creativity" and "as good as ever" in mid-2006. That would be news to anyone I know, and pretty good fodder for snarky internet chatrooms... Post a comment |
