I spent a lot of time analysing what works on Digg & what doesn’t. However what a lot of people fail to notice is that 99% of the stories that are submitted rarely make it beyond 1 digg (from the user themselves).
The reason for this is the mentality of the submitter. They think that creating an account then submitting their stories is enough for the story to hit the front page. However, it’s just not that simple.
Here’s an account of how exactly I created a profile & became a power user that had 4 stories front paged with no help from any IM friends, within 48 hours of creating the Digg Account.

Thanks some really good comments there, I am very happy as some days back even I hit the homepage on Digg.
I like this post - thumbed it up....
I am not sure about the 48 hrs. though. :)
Fantastic post with some logical, easy tips that is also different to half the posts we see these days.
I haven't even read this yet but I am Sphinning it purely from the extract, ha ha. Can't wait to read it!
Thanks for the tips! I'll stop by to Sphinn you again
