I got on the homepage of Digg today thanks to Digg Boss. I used my points to get 30 diggs, but so far only 16 were used. I had a site that the community liked and all it took was the initial boost from Digg Boss to get noticed.
Digg - Google Hacking Made Easy!
1. 15,000 uniques (so far). I'm still getting a huge amount of traffic as I refresh my stats, even though I'm on the third page now.
2. A big fat PR8 link from digg.
3. A lot of people are blogging about my site + spam sites that mirror Digg are recording it= mega backlinks. I really wish I knew SEO well so I could take advantage of this. If anyone can give me some advice and some keywords to try to rank for that would be awesome.
4. Only made $5 in Adsense. Maybe it hasn't updated everything yet. 20,369 impressions, 48 clicks, .24 ctr. That's digg traffic for ya. I think I may get banned from adsense. I just slapped the ads on my site yesterday and never received an email back from them if my site meets their terms. After all that traffic I know they will investigate my account and possibly call it a warez site. It sucks that I will probably have to wait till payment time to find out if I'm banned or not.
5. Surprisingly I used only a few gbs of bandwidth and my server held up well. It's a shared host for proxies with a quad core and 8gb of memory. My site got on the front page when proxy traffic is starting to die down (right after school) so I got most of the server to myself.
All in all, Digg is great. Sure the traffic is ad blind, but the backlinks from random other sites and the viral exposure is awesome. I can't wait to try this with some other sites that are also targeted towards the tech/digg community. Best of all, I didn't spend a DIME.
