How Do You Get Dugg?
Visited 376 Times Published by Rico February 12th, 2007 in Blogging, How and Internet.Today, Benjamin Yoskovitz made the front page of Digg. How’d he do it?
- He wrote a genuinely interesting post. Which was why I dugg it.
- He submitted the article to Digg. So I didn’t have to.
- He then e-mailed me and some friends about his submission. That’s how I found out about it in the first place.
And apparently, other users saw what I saw.
Yes, Benjamin made it easy to Digg what he wrote. That helped a bit. But people only paid attention to Benjamin’s post because it was good and relevant. Good because it’s interestingly informative. Relevant because I suspect most Digg users are techies who secretly dream of creating their own startups. In other words, the article on entrepreneurship resonated. Take a look at some of the comments and you’ll see what I mean.
Sounds familiar? Well, I wouldn’t be surprised if Benjamin took a page or two from Brian Clark.

jomar: The one that got dugg? Read point #1.
WiLL: Thanks!
I got Dugg last month and I have never seen that amount of traffic ever in my life. I’m still getting some hits from there.
Semaj: Guess that’s an advantage of being hosted on Blogger or Wordpress.com. No need to worry about the digg effect.
