I agree with Michael, social bookmarks cannot be the sole method of link building. You've got to mix it up and be a fanatic about getting links in as many natural ways as possible. It's fundamental marketing principles.
You could probably figure this out with a simply equation:($ per ad click) * ((total hits from digg * % click on ads) / diggs) = $ per digg($.25) * ((9732 * .05) / 34) = $3.38 per diggNot sure how accurate this really is. Anyone have any real world data to share?
Wow, he peaked and now only gets 300-500 hits per week? Yech. My site is nothing much to talk about and I'm getting just over 1000 hits per week. Better to be solidly consistent than binge and purge.

Hawai SEO, two Diggs are worth a hen and a bush and 3.23 blog comment spams. But I am willing to trade for a cup of coffee and a Reddit up arrow.

I remember when 1 digg was worth 40 kopecks.

I think that 300-500 is from Digg traffic?
