Quick Digg Update

22 February, 2007 (09:26) | Increasing Website Traffic | By: Erik

I recently told of one of Blogtown Presses articles getting dugg all the way to the front page. I was, of course, super psyched and was able to track the progress through digg’s interface and our stats.

It was interesting to see that over the first 10-12 hours of it being crazy dugg there were 1000-1500 uniques per hour. (That’ll give the network traffic a sweet boost). Then, as the article slowly made it’s way down the pages of top articles and slowly out of the entertainment section, the traffic went down with it. We’re almost back to normal traffic levels for Aloha Update.

But another long term effect is that out of all those diggs the article also got picked up by some bloggers around the world in various subjects. They wrote about Dog as well as Aloha Update. Hopefully that will give us some good Google Juice when the next run of Google PageRank updates hits.

Hi Erik,

I noticed the Aloha update Digg after seeing your spring up the Blogtopsites charts (I am in the travel section too), and then found you again now soon after by way of Cesar’s flee the cube blog (I bother him occasionally because we both have sites related to Argentina) - small world!

However, didn’t you get a second Digg on Aloha update soon after the first? It looks like that from your blogtopsites stats?

Also, any tips on how you got it to the front page of Digg? I have tried a few times and never got higher than 7 diggs… I guess maybe it could be that I have basically no online friends to Digg me in the first hour to give it that starting push.

Going to have a good look through this blog now as it looks to be a good resource

Cheers,

Alan
