Intrigue The Readers
With Great Titles Of Course
The first step to being on the front page of digg.com is getting the readers to click on the title to read your blog / story / site.Recent big hits on digg.com includes:
"How to Destroy the Earth With a Coffee Can"
"How I learned to break in to Apple and Code for them without Permission."
"How I (color blind person) see the world!"
"Mom uses Technology to PWN Teens."
Follow The Trends
Before they get burnt out.
The next step to getting on the front page of digg.com is to follow the trends. What is everyone talking about and can't get enough of?A few examples include:
Windows Vista (what's wrong with it now!)
Nintendo's Wii (soon to be released on Nov. 18)
Windows users vs. Mac users (always a hot topic to start the OS wars)
See the trend here?
(Technology is rapidly growing, and the fact is most people whom use digg.com are always wanting to keep up to date with it.)
Write About Something That Pisses People Off
Face it, it'll get them talking
What better way to draw more attention to your submission to digg.com but to get people to comment on it. The easiest way to receive comments is to piss people off or to fake a post.A good example was a submission that was entered a week ago:
"MacBook Joins the Club of Igniting Laptops"
This was a false post. The Owner of the laptop set fire to it, it did not ignite itself.
This set off a wide range of comments when it was soon found that the owner had lied.
Make A List
People Love Lists
People are attracted to lists. Some of the best digg.com submissions were as simple as the following:- 5 Minutes To Wealth
- CSS In 8 Easy Steps
- Top 10 Reasons To Buy Electronics
- 6 Examples Of Cooking Hazards
- How To Get Digged In A Jiffy
Pleasing To The Eye
Wow them with a photo
Photos are worth a thousand words (so they say). People enjoy looking at odd and unique things. Whether it be tragically disgusting or a new discovered beauty, you'll win them to digg your submission.
Snazzy Video
Video is worth a million words (if its good!)
A great way to be on the front page of digg.com is if you have a great video clip.
From grandmothers shooting MP40's to a guy who dances around the world.
