Lot’s of new webmasters go freakin nuts digging the heck out of their sites and trying to get listed on the front page of digg. Wake up call: Digg traffic doesn’t = $$.

However, Digg traffic does often result in links back to your site, or to your digg profile that = spiders and visitors going to your sites. That’s the good part.

You have to put some effort into it to get things set up though. Here is how you do it:

Set up your profile, use images, and a profile image.  Put some work into your profile - it will pay off.  One thing I have noticed is that women (nice looking women) seem to get more friends and more activity.  I’m not saying you should pretend to be “sally” when your not - but hey that’s up to you.  If you start wearing girls underwear you’ve probably gone to far.

Your going to have to digg other people’s stuff - and leave comments.    Read my instant link love post and use it to both build up one of your own blogs - and make buddies.

Your going to have to add friends.

Your going to have to put about 4 hours of effort into things over about a week.

If you really want to make the best of this your going to need a couple profiles.  One for techie stuff, one for politics, etc… you get the point I’m sure.

The bad news?  Digg traffic SUCKS for making money. It’s good for getting spiders and getting some extra inbound links.

One thing you might want to do to is combine GRAZR and Digg to increase things a bit more.  Put up a GRAZR reading list up on your blog - it looks something like this:

Black Hat Reading List 

Once you’ve built up your “digg” profile, friends, and diggs…. digg your own reading list.  See what happens - but I’m sure you will see some SEO value.
