- zatrix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12#6 should be 'Post articles in your blog teaching others how to get traffic to their site'
- championchap, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10haha, i like that you said that without the need to actually read the article.
must have been hoping for a few +Diggs eh? - halldan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10this is the same damn 'information' that site has had on the front page 5 times now
it sucks...marked as spam - championchap, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4you missed out the one about writing something worth reading!
somehow ALL bloggers seem to forget that one. - AngryBoy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Awesome summary. No need to read the article.
- krewemaynard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+42) Don't suck.
- lilricky, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5definate spam, but how can it make the front page with only 28 diggs(as of this writing)???
- JK1150, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I'm surprised the first one isn't blog spam digg, seems to be the cool thing to do now-a-days. To get to an actual article, you have to browse through 4 blogs...
- SeBBBe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It's calculated based on number of diggs/minute, not sheer number of diggs.
- Nougat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2No, go the other way entirely:
http://digg.com/tech_news/Fight_that_blogging_urge - xst4t1kx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2People repeatedly submit their blogs (as spam) to generate income off of advertising placed on their site(s). Most of the content isn't worth the 2 seconds of your life it took to view and then close the tab/window. It has nothing to do with quality content only that they want the page views from a(nother) Digg submit. People are intentionally abusing Digg and most of that abuse comes from blog submits. Thanks for sharing your clueless perspective anyway.
- xst4t1kx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Need a way to rate users based on quality of content so that over time their submits can be prevented from ever reaching the home page.
- invader, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2it also depends on who diggs it..
- Fracture98, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3How to increase traffic to your site through content:
1) Have content
Thanks for reading. - xst4t1kx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2When people refer to "blog-spam" they aren't referring to all blogs as spam, they are referring to a type of blog that is used in such a way that it only amounts to spam. Thanks for trying to educate everyone but all you did was toss around some insults and display how little you really understand the problem.
- bitcloud, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1There's also the ever present "Make Lists" advice... Something that guy took on board without emparting with others.
- xst4t1kx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Amen.
- h0dg3s, on 10/12/2007, -5/+6Spam reported
blogs = spam
quit posting your blogspam on digg, ***** - Haplo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Post on weekends"
My site (+ blog, http://johnbokma.com/ ) has in the weekend around 10,000 daily visitors, and during the week 13,000 daily visitors. I guess most people read while at work, blog or not.
"If the news is hot everyone else will start writing on it and link back to where they found it"
LOL. They probably copy your news, and post *their* blog on digg... Welcome to the world of cut & paste blogging. - survivordean, on 10/10/2008, -0/+1everything is just well-written and lucidly explained across.
- tj_walker_dvt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Burry this multi-level, Amway marketing *****. "OOH, make a zillion dollars by using your blog to tell others how to put a link in their blog to link to this.....blah blah blah."
NO DIGG FOR YOU!

= : )K - xst4t1kx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13) Have so many ads on your site that no one can tell that you don't really have any content.
4) Link to other peoples content. - mjjack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'd go even further - people who continually post blog spam should be prevented from submitting links to those domains at at all. It would probably be easy to tell if people are posting links to the same sites a little too often. Upcoming stories are getting so cluttered with spam it's impossible to find anything decent in there, and it's only going to get worse.
- xst4t1kx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I didn't check your profile nor was I aware (or did I assume) you were female. If you want to judge based on profiles then apparenly I am both Alex and Kevin.
- palmdoc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Best way of course is to get your site Dugg ;)

never made it though :( - xst4t1kx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"you just use it to vote on an extremely narrow slice of stories"
Actually I visit digg to read.
"to help further your own narrow cause"
Wrong again... still. Has nothing to do with my diggs. Never has.
"contributing in any other worthwhile way."
Part of the daily user base? I thought that one important but apparently "we're" not useful if we're not submitting stories or digging submits you approve of.
"patronizing tone"
Most people eventually learn that two key factors are missing from text-only internet conversation, tone and inflexion.
I don't have to explain my digging "habits". There is a reason behind it, whether it's apparent to you or not. I don't have to digg anything at all so what if anything I chose to tag doesn't concern anyone but myself. Again trying to judge based off what you don't understand. By all means waste more time, I'm sure it's productive for you in some way. :-) - aweblogs, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1most of it seems to be compiled articles from copyblogger.com
- irchs, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1So.... be creative, interesting and actually have content?
- bitcloud, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2This blog is most certainly spam, but I don't think it's fair to call all blog's spam. I try to have actual original content rather than regurgitate the news, or pander to "hot keywords" like 'SEO' or 'Ajax'.
People seem to respond well to actual content, so there might be something to that as an SEO 'trick' - Haplo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Maybe try my blog. Something like: http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2006/07/04/ takes me quite some time to write. Certainly no copy & paste job :-) If you like it is a matter of taste of course. But often when I see people just copy & paste news, hit the frontpage on digg and do it again, and again, and again, with a blog filled with AdSense I really wonder I am not going for the too long run...
- maiku00, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1theres no link...
- i440, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4Of course, you could also submit a post from own blog on Digg, especially if its entirely possible to just link directly to the webpage of interest instead
- SoulCast, on 10/12/2007, -16/+4Great article about increasing blog traffic through content. Whether you're just trying to get readership or make money via ads, these are good tips to go by for any blogger.
