Messing with Digg

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 :)

Hi,
Would you like to share that JS code maybe? ;]
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.
#3, huh, apparently my sneaky filter isn’t working as well as it used to.. That’s actually a pretty slick idea..
D’oh, someone just wrecked the room :( Hats off Dave…..
i have been thinking about this, js auto digg. but have no time to work on it…

This is some first class link bait as well. Count on me for a digg.
Share the JS code for the last trick ;)
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” . ;-)

How well has this worked for you? I’m curious…
Good share. Plz give that JS script. would be really helpful
can you Digg automaticly with a JS script without a Digg login ?
I wonder whether “the on-exit” is just wishful thinking or actually doable….
Quite a cool idea. I wish I thought of it. I’m going to start and js my way to create a little script that auto-diggs.
We’ll see how it goes. I’ll use it, then I’ll post it ;)
Regards,
