- Demistate, on 10/10/2008, -4/+179"BREAKING: Kevin Rose Meets with Obama, using his iPhone to defeat Sarah Palin in upcomming election. (Boobs)"
- toasterweasel, on 10/09/2008, -9/+168What a bunch of *****.
It comes down to blind digging(yeah still going on) your zillion friends as they blind digg their zillion friends. More friends=more diggs=front page no matter what the submission actually is. And why? No one cares. All the sheeple say is, MORE CONTENT, GIVE ME MORE. OM NOM NOM NOM.
Oh and don't forget, be passionate! - Tenn0, on 10/09/2008, -13/+132You mean Digg's frontpage stories are user submitted? I thought they were all from Mr. Baby Man.
- inactive, on 10/09/2008, -1/+89#9. Put the name Kevin Rose in the title.
- granolajoe, on 10/09/2008, -3/+749) Be MakiMaki
- inactive, on 10/10/2008, -19/+80#10 Recklessly slam republicans with no real evidence
- ftx437, on 10/10/2008, -2/+59Pro-obama=front page
Anti mccain=front page
Anti palin=front page
Anti bush=front page.
Pro Mccain=Buried
Pro Bush=Buried
Pro Palin=Buried
Anti Obama=Buried. - law1ess, on 10/10/2008, -0/+491. add NSFW in title
2. boobs thumbnail
3. show boobs - SpectralSounds, on 10/09/2008, -3/+48There are far too many Kevin Rose ass kissers around here.
- Proctor, on 10/10/2008, -4/+47Get MrBabyMan to digg your story?
- alanocu, on 10/09/2008, -8/+45#9 Submit HuffPo - knowledge of other eight points not needed
- Romax, on 10/10/2008, -3/+34i had to take politics off my digg preferences in my settings.. its just getting ridiculous.
- Doomsan, on 10/10/2008, -0/+26How ironic is that MakiMaki submitted the story.
- TheThirdWheel, on 10/10/2008, -2/+27#11: submit story from Reddit, /. or Fark.
- MostNutsEver, on 10/10/2008, -0/+24Submit the latest XKCD comic.
- bpoteat, on 10/09/2008, -1/+23It's all about friends. Period. My one submission was about Digg (which was 'supposed' to be one of the big things to get diggs) and nearly every digg for the story was from my friends. How else is someone supposed to see it? So much ***** gets submitted that it all just gets lost in the crap. Unless you have a bunch of friends willing to digg it, forget it.
- slickfire, on 10/10/2008, -2/+21or MakiMaki
- MonkeyNews, on 10/10/2008, -2/+21I have no friends on this site, I comment very little and mainly lurk.
I submitted this cool website about Star Trek. It had all sorts of info on ships, schematics even an interactive starship builder - very niche. I assumed that it would be interesting to even the casual sci-fi fan since the site was so well made and fun. It got 4 diggs or something.
Go figure. - cygnus2112, on 10/10/2008, -3/+22I think Kevin Rose forgot to mention #9: Anything Pro-Obama, Anti-Palin, Anti-McCain.
- repins, on 10/10/2008, -5/+22you win....best post in this thread!!
- webresources, on 10/09/2008, -3/+19Everything is great about digg except a "great story submitted by a fresh user" having 0 chance. And these tips won't work on this situation too..
But it all becomes logical when you think that this is not only a news site but more a community site. - Opiate, on 10/10/2008, -4/+19That's cool, we'll just talk about failed USA instead.
- WhiZa, on 10/10/2008, -0/+14This article may of worked back in 2005, but now Digg is infested with mobsters. Gaining respect from friends who blind digg (maybe out of fear?) is the only way to the front. The content of the article means nothing.
- chanop, on 10/10/2008, -4/+18I did too, but still get a ton of political articles posted in the wrong category. And you can't read comments in any article without politics getting involved
- whittmadden, on 10/10/2008, -0/+12Not to mention any article for or against Scientology, and the most obvious, XKCD!
- zadadka, on 10/10/2008, -0/+12Found your submission.
Like it....so will the kids.
Dugg. - MattNF, on 10/10/2008, -2/+14Dugg for boobs.
- jcardinal, on 10/10/2008, -1/+13be MSALEEM. WTF?
- Grazfather, on 10/10/2008, -0/+12if you're 'badwithcomputers' you have to make sure the original video was already posted, upload it to break.com to take all credit from the creators, then resubmit it. Ignore the duplicate post warnings.
- Spyder2k, on 10/10/2008, -1/+12Reference Digg
- badfrog, on 10/10/2008, -0/+11Kevin Rose's number 1 tip for getting stories dugg... Be Kevin Rose.
- Protuhj, on 10/10/2008, -0/+10Solution - Get rid of the 'friends' feature of digg. That's what MySpace and Facebook are for.
- Lucas123, on 10/10/2008, -1/+11Dude. If MakiMaki -- with a 37% front page approval rating -- didn't post that story, do you really think it would have gotten on the FP?
- inactive, on 10/10/2008, -18/+28"Write about failed American presidential candidate Ron Paul."
ICE BURN!
Of course the paultards are going to bawwwww about this. - Tawney, on 10/10/2008, -1/+10You forgot bacon. :(
- inactive, on 10/10/2008, -4/+13If you are Maki Maki just steal someone elses story.
And remember to post every ***** torrent freak article!
Spamming bastard - inactive, on 10/10/2008, -0/+9He forgot the 3 most successful techniques:
1) Bash Bush
2) Bash Religion
3) Bash McCain and/or Worship Obama - inactive, on 10/10/2008, -0/+91. Find Rickroll
2. Post Rickroll
3. ???
4. Front Page - mahadiga, on 10/10/2008, -0/+8And Digg should not disclose the submitter name till the article has become popular in order to prevent collusion between submitter and the voters.
- andyb747, on 10/10/2008, -1/+9put the word "evolution" in the title
- Spuy767, on 10/10/2008, -1/+9The recommendation engine ensures that gaming the system is the only way to make it to the front page.
- chrisvickers, on 10/10/2008, -1/+9i wonder if this will end up on the front page...
- SuperVepr308, on 10/10/2008, -12/+20Blah, blah, blah. Here is all you really need:
1. Must praise Obama or critize McCain or Palin
2. Must link from HuffPo or *****
3. You're done! - inactive, on 10/10/2008, -3/+11Bash religion, or say sex.
- cfuse, on 10/10/2008, -0/+81) Republicans sucking.
2) Ron Paul not sucking.
3) Steve Jobs and/or an Apple product that doesn't exist outside of photoshop.
4) Boobs.
5) Fail pics or anything that was sent to you by email when people actually used email for that.
6) XKCD. If not XKCD, then a webcomic that is either not funny or makes no sense at all.
7) Linux on the desktop.
8) Top 10 lists, especially if they are spread over a billion ***** pages.
9) Cure for cancer
10) Energy from rainbows or equally infeasible concepts.
11) How to and self improvement articles that you read to avoid doing anything meaningful.
12) Some super cool product that you immediately know that you must have. This guarantees that it will never be made or be so expensive that you would have to sell both kidneys to afford it. - NovaPrime9, on 10/10/2008, -0/+8Only if you're msaalem, makimaki, mrbabyman or kevinfederline. All instant-buries for me.
- roebeet, on 10/10/2008, -0/+8One more, now. I have the same problem as you - all the diggs I submitted never went anywhere, either. I'm more interested in commenting on other stories, anyway....
- zelig, on 10/10/2008, -1/+8Tip #1 : Always submit articles from the following sources: huffpost. jedreport. rawstory. daillykos.
