2047 Diggs and Counting

digga — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 21:52:55 +0000

My signature Wickedfire has gotten me some leads in the past, but nothing quite like this. Some member submitted this picture that was found on my signature , and just look at the response it got: http://digg.com/comedy/Money_Talks_Baby_Hell_Yeah_PIC. I kept the link, so you can see what category it was submitted too.It was very unfortunate he didn’t put diggalive.com in the URL, or we would for sure have some more readers by now. There was also a lot of comments, where I could of gone back and left replys. This at least will give you an idea of images users are Digging. This one must of ended up on the first page, it also has a ‘tag’ associated with it, which is for the higher Digged entries. What are some ways that you could monetize this situation? If I was in control of the URL, which I wish I was in this case, I could of pointed it to DiggaLive, and hoped to get some subscribers, or I could of created an offer page, or jumper, and linked it to that , with an offer. This could have been 2043 potential clicks, and definitely missed out. I would probably stick with something like an email submit, or 1 page submit. Dig traffic is not going to convert nearly as high as targeted traffic, but what’s the harm in testing. What kind of deals would work? I can answer that the same as almost any other question having to do with affiliate marketing, and that is …T E S T.

Have you found ways to monetize Digg Traffic? Let us know!

Some Techniques to Get Quality Backlinks

digga — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 00:47:19 +0000

You’re google, yahoo, live rank is measured by a number of different things. One of these things that is one of the most important ones, is quality, page ranked backlinks. There numerous ways, and these are by any means not even close to all of them, but will get you started on getting quality backlinks.

1. Submit to PR Directories. Refer to this post:
Although, the weight of page rank link juice that it gives out has declined since directories started, it still is a great way to get your site crawled for a certain keyword. You can outsource this, however, make sure you get a detailed report, to what ones were submitted, the ones accepted/rejected, and also the anchor text used. Make sure you get one that is “manually submitted”, and high pr directories.

2. Link Exchange. This one may not be the best way, because you can end up linking to a harmful site that has been penalized in google, and this can weigh on you, so use this one as last resort. This way however can work with friends that have sites going, and know they are legit. Another way is to offer some content to another site in return for a link back to yours. You can also search around WickedFire, and DP. You can find me on there too.

3. Link Bait. I got this method from Mr. Chow. Basically , you lure them in with a post like:
“Review my site for a free backlink”, or something of that nature. On your post, you simply tell your readers that if they do a review of your blog, you will link to there review. Give them an incentive to write a good review too! Tell them the best writer gets a prize! Who doesn’t want a chance at winning, whatever it is. Just look at the Contest posts in DP, you will be amazed the quality of work you can get done, as long as there’s a prize for the winner.
Note: Read this post: http://www.johnchow.com/its-all-about-pushing-the-limit/
Seems like the man actually got penalized for using this technique. He no longer holds number one for his name. This maybe because he used the same anchor text each time when requesting the link.

4. Write Articles. This one takes the most time, unless of course you do like I do and outsource your content. If you have money in the game, and have enough time to write all the unique content it takes to get ranked now a days, and keep a kick ass blog like this (kidding of course) , then hats off to you, but just remember there’s kids on wickedfire/dp at your fingertips with English majors that are ready to write an article for you for .3c a word. However you get your article, submit it to article sites Like ezine.com. People that use your article must include a link to your website below the article. Chaching! Don’t get too excited, you need to make sure not to put the same article on your site. Use the article only for article purposes, to avoid duplicate content, from the article site, and others posting your article!

5. Add Your Link to Wikipedia

6. Digg stories- This one should always be done when first introducing a site to google. Digg gets crawled every single day, most of the time more times than one. As you were reading this post, Digg most likely has been crawled. Okay, you get the idea, submit to Digg, but what do I submit? Submit articles that you think Digg users with Digg. Do some research, see what stories are making it to the front page, and capitalize! If you’re on the front page, that M O N E Y . You will get enormous amounts of traffic. John Chow used techniques to get himself on the front page, and you can too.

7. Trackbacks – You know that option in WordPress when you’re writing a blog post and always skip, well if you are citing a site, don’t skip this part! This will notify the poster that you have linked to their post, and will most of the time , if they see it, they will link back.

8. Participate in Forums – There are thousands of forums out there just waiting for your link. The only problem is, you sign up, spam your site, it will most likely get removed. You have to be a ninja. Yes, a ninja, don’t make it so obvious your spamming. There are techniques you can do , one popular one, is ask for a review of your website. But remember, to add your correct anchor text! As stated in my directory post, don’t use the same anchor text each time. Switch it up.

9. LinkXL- If you have any budget at all for your project, this site is for you. Their main goal is bringing you quality backlinks on sites relevant to yours, with your anchor link. You can do a search for your niche, and find a relevant site that is selling a link on their page. Some are extremely cheap, like $1.00, and some are expensive, like $36.00. It is by a monthly subscription, and most of the time the renewal price is cheaper.

10. Comments – One quick way to get a link, is to search for a ranked blog, preferably in your niche, and comment away, remember to use your anchor text

10. Top Comment Plug in - This one is so good, it had to have its own post, check out:
Commenting isn’t everything but it got you here.

12. Social Media - This has blown up recently. Social Media is Internet and mobile-based tools for sharing and discussing information. Sites like Digg, Reddit , Del.icio.us and Yahoo’s new Buzz are some social media sites. Make sure to install a plug-in on your blog to make it easy for your readers to submit your sites to these sites. Doing this can gain you “votes”, which can maybe get you on the front page. The more people that bookmark you sites like , Del.icio.us, the better for your site link popularity. Here are some other examples.. Flickr, Zooomr, Photobucket, SmugMug , YouTube, Vimeo, Viddler, Revver , epinions, Yelp , Avatars United, Bebo, Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, Orkut, Skyrock, Netlog

More techniques welcome, I’m always looking for more, and I’m sure so is my readers ..

Kevin Rose – Digging for more ad revenue with Diggable ads

digga — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 06:46:03 +0000

Digg is by far the most popular social news site. It generates thousands of new articles each day, and and a ridiculous amount of traffic, but how do you convert that traffic into sales? Digg users never click adds, its a well known fact. It looks like Digg is up to something. Kevin announced a new potential revenue stream labeled “Diggable ads”. How would this type of advertising work? The official word isn’t out yet, however, it most likely will be along the same lines as Facebook ads, and the new Myspace ads. If this is true, us Affiliate Marketers have another stomping ground. Lets hope the they don’t go the same rout as Facebook and enforce strict guide lines. This could be a good opportunity for Digg, however, as I was mentioning before, currently, Digg users are not clicking ads. Lets hope Kevin Rose has something good planned for us, so we can all prosper.

Would you try out Digg ads? I think my answer on this would be, any other stream to get out our affiliate campaigns the better, but will they convert?
