What is Digg?67 Comments
- funnydale, on 01/21/2008, -4/+28Here are 3 ways to promote your WordPress weblog...
1) Write one paragraph of poorly written junk, then include a link at the end to the real story.
2) Write an overly sensationalistic headline.
3) Post it on Digg
The End. - inactive, on 01/21/2008, -5/+17That article sucked. The only thing that would "pimp" your blog would be a theme.
- Mufonix, on 01/21/2008, -1/+10Seems like a pretty thoughtless article. There are many plugins whose usefulness to new WP users top the ones listed here.
- seantubridy, on 01/21/2008, -1/+9As hard as I've tried, I cannot get other men to pay me for sex with my Wordpress blog.
- seantubridy, on 01/21/2008, -4/+12Hey wassup Wordpress? You lookin' fine, baby. You should join the rodeo so I can ride ya all night long.
- seldon452, on 01/21/2008, -2/+9Buried for having the words "Pimp Out" in the title.
- JonnyCash, on 01/21/2008, -2/+8Getting this mediocre article on the front page of Digg was the real pimp work.
- DaleoftheUK, on 01/21/2008, -0/+6and then step 6 blog goes down.
- epilonious, on 01/21/2008, -1/+5And yet, nothing about how to write content in a way that is interesting, informative, and/or easy-to-relate-to.
Making six the "Not many people are generally interested in your cats, so it would be better to not put off those who ARE interested in your cats by having lots of pictures and content about iguanas surrounding your cat posts" concept. - SuperMoses, on 01/21/2008, -2/+6You forgot steps 4 and 5
4. ????
5. Profit! - Somnabot, on 01/21/2008, -5/+8I wasn't aware that WP was worth pimping...
- radix76v2, on 01/21/2008, -0/+2One tipp to kill any (pimped/non-pimped) wordpress page:
just put it on digg.com :-) - krynsky, on 01/22/2008, -0/+2If I come across anybody that thinks this is how to pimp their blog, they are getting bitchslapped
- phoenixp3k, on 01/21/2008, -0/+2The only recommendation I like is the OpenID plugin. Since Yahoo gets on the OpenID wagon it might get popular.
Guess Passport.net was ahead of it's time. - V1ncent, on 01/21/2008, -0/+2Funny how WP needs a decent web host not to crash all the time while other blogging software doesn't. Oh well, too sophisticated to require less power than the rest. lalala...
- Emperial, on 01/21/2008, -0/+2This article sucked big time.... I've been using WP for a few years and trust me when I say, there are hundreds of ways you can pimp up your blog.... That article was prefabricated especially to appear on digg.com, no question about it...
- tehnico, on 01/21/2008, -0/+2Hey blog, do you take... credit cards?
- canha, on 01/21/2008, -1/+3Yeah...this sucked.
- bugzer, on 01/21/2008, -0/+1Yeah the digg readers are a very technical audience and perhaps my not get much out the the article...however the intended audience was obviously those who may be less technical and may not not about the plugins mentioned.
- DeathGod321, on 01/21/2008, -0/+1The only way to pimp is not to play.
- inactive, on 01/22/2008, -1/+22. Threre is no real need for OpenID for blog comments. OpenID however should be used on more forums, though.
5. No one wants to see your pictures. - foxter, on 01/21/2008, -0/+1I like cats.
- popothebright, on 01/21/2008, -0/+1Agreed. Optimal Title should really be part of the WordPress default install. The built-in title format in WP is silly in terms of search engine optimization.
I use OT on all my blogs and it's the first thing I install. - trparky, on 01/21/2008, -0/+1It's not that you need a decent web host, you just need a web host in which you're paying more than $5 a month.
Yeah, sure... that $5 a month web host is great, but that server is so over-sold that even twenty people hitting your WordPress site will bring that server to it's knees.
The main problem at fault here is... cheap people. Host at a cheap web host, you deserve to have your site Dugg into the ground. - FatLoser, on 01/21/2008, -0/+1You mean stolen, uncredited, copyrighted photos?
- FatLoser, on 01/21/2008, -2/+3What, pray tell, in the ***** are you trying to say?
- bacchus101, on 01/21/2008, -2/+31. Use Drupal instead.
- addiktion, on 01/22/2008, -0/+1I have no desire to use OpenID. Mostly for the privicy issues, along with the centralized control, which could amount to a failure. I'd like to see a better idea get implemented but unfortunately I don't think its possible to do without jeopardizing ones privacy.
- findhostcoupons, on 03/21/2009, -0/+1thanks we will try to take into account all these tips!
- vivtiger, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1I can't understand two things:
- how this article got 754 diggs (at the moment)?! with such an uninformative and ordinary content?
- how this article got 754 diggs with so many "down"s and negative comments from diggers? - trparky, on 01/21/2008, -0/+1I see that they have a blurb about WP-Cache. Too bad that most people will never listen to this bit of useful information, and thus... we'll always have links to dead WordPress blogs on the front page of Digg.
- cambob76, on 01/21/2008, -1/+2Alllllright! Just what I needed. Now I can put my Wordpress blog out on the street and rake in the cash. She better bring in the dough, or its the back of my hand! Skanky bitch!
-da pimp - rjmoriarty, on 01/22/2008, -0/+1You're fooling yourselves if you think content is the only thing a blog (or any site) needs. Yes, content is #1, but good design and implementation is important for traffic and conversion.
- drexl, on 01/21/2008, -1/+2If you wanna pimp that wordhoepress blog you best be recognizin Blogger as the OG it is and bring him his money!
What the hell did I just write? - THE4IRON, on 01/21/2008, -0/+1Does XZIBIT come with these tips?
- Garipov, on 01/22/2008, -0/+1I know better way to promote your blog
Step 1. write useful article
Step 2. go to step 1
Nothing else - smek2, on 01/21/2008, -1/+2Is it this easy to get some traffic? Create a short, very lame and boring List on your blog and post it on Digg? So many bloggers, so many morons.

http://19292.tokyo-no1.com/ - cdhgolf, on 01/23/2008, -0/+0Good advice on making your blog more presentable. Yes content is #1 but looks can help bring people back.
- stjon76, on 01/21/2008, -1/+1WP-Cache can be a pain if you ever want to remove it.

http://www.fudousan-no1.com/ - 31213121, on 01/21/2008, -9/+9wp-cache will protect you from the digg effect if you have a decent webhost (one that doesn't just shut you down after 100 hits), and with one of my sites 8 times on diggs frontpage, 3 times without wp-cache, I know I speak the truth.....
But for the people who need this information, I think http://tumblr.com will be better for you. It's just a great way to post mp3's, text, images, video's etc. on a site, and you don't even need a webhost!
I personally use it on my tumblelog: http://thefreesuite.com (with free alternatives for expensive programs, updated weekly) - MarcoPe, on 01/21/2008, -1/+1What's this rubbish? It's not even as high as mediocre..
