How to get your blog post dugg and dugg and dugg

August 4th, 2006

Are you one of the millions of bloggers out there who are trying desperately to use the power of Digg, but can’t seem to get dugg? Are you foregoing the high ideals of user-powered content and just trying to send more traffic to your site? Then this information is for you.

Stuart Brown took the time, effort and technological talents to attempt to answer the unanswerable, “How many Diggs do you need to make the homepage?” He set up a script that logged the average number of diggs per homepage story. The results are detailed and interesting to decipher. For example, most of the front page diggs occur between 6am and 8am, when most people are starting the work day. This is in stark contrast with the people I know who spend most of their work day reading blog posts and digging them. By the way, you didn’t hear that from me.

Read it for yourself. It’s a well thought out post with solid data to back it up.
