I digg it.
I’d never really visited Digg before yesterday. A couple of times, but I didn’t sign up. Then, yesterday morning, I noticed almost immediately after it was posted at Performancing, that they had released their blogging extension, called Performancing for Firefox. I immediately downloaded it and realized what I had to do. I had to take screenshots of it and the very simple process of getting it set up with my Wordpress blog.
I went step by step, capturing the important part of the screen, saving it, and then uploading the images on someone else’s server so I don’t use as much bandwidth on mine. This turned out to be a great idea, because I went to digg.com to promote my own post (something that I believe should be done sparingly, because self-promotion of topics should only be done for the cream of the crop.)
Anyways, not that many people actualy “dugg” the post. (For good reason, too, I suspect, because I didn’t have a whole lot of analysis or in-depth information, but it still managed to get hundreds upon hundreds of visits yesterday from digg.com, my comments on the Performancing post, and a slew of other websites that I either commented on, trackbacked, or received links for anyways. (I’ve never been promoted in another language before. That was cool.) I was promoting my post through trackbacks and comments, and I could have done a whole lot more if I hadn’t been so busy yesterday. All in all, I received hundreds of visitors that I wouldn’t have otherwise received without the promotion on digg.com. So, thanks for coming.
I will continue to be talking about traffic building, professional blogging, affiliate marketing, and all sorts of good stuff. I suspect I’ll be making a pretty big splash in a couple of niches shortly, so if you’re into buzz marketing and promoting something on no budget, I may be just the guy you’re looking for. Oh, and please ignore the generic Wordpress template, I hope to make it disappear in the coming weeks.
