Messing with Digg

by

These are my 3 my Favourite messing with Digg tricks.. remember most diggers are stupid

1) The 301 redirect to another page.

Basically you 301 the page that’s been dugg to another page, with a Digg button, because most people Digg after they have left Digg and landed on your page

2) The wrong Digg button

basically you just replace the digg button on the landing page to another digg page. I have seen this method used very very well. you get your “5 cool things about firefox” on the front page of digg then on the landing page you put a digg button to you next upcoming article.

3) the on-exit

small bit of JS so when they leave the page it Digg’s it for you :)

    By the way, what do you think about those “Share and Enjoy” buttons. Do they really work?

    I meant wouldn’t it be better to have 3-4 bigg ones with the most popular s.bookmarking sites instead so surfers could easilly vote?

    As this one just shows icons and wonder what % of people actually using them.

    So if I leave this page will I automatically vote for it on Digg? Aww, you don’t have to trick me like that. You had me at “most diggers are stupid” . ;-)

    I wonder whether “the on-exit” is just wishful thinking or actually doable….
