Black Hat – White Hat

A Follow Up on my Digg 2 Blog post.

I figured that since we had a lot of new readers who didn’t understand exactly what happens when you ‘digg blog’ like I outlined here:  Link to Digg Post, I would step up to the plate and explain a bit more  (don’t expect it all the time but this is for you Genevieve).

If you go here:  Digg,  you will see a small list of people who “blogged” about this post and at the time of this writting there are over 1800 diggers, but only 8 blog posters.

When you “blog” about a post it’s actually adding content to your blog automatically.   You don’t have to log into your blog or anything.  You set up your profile in Digg to include your blog address, your username, and password.  It literally logs in and posts for you.

When you ‘link’ from your blog to another blog you ping them (that means you send them a little message saying – hey I linked to you).

That’s called a trackback.  It appears in the comments of the blog you blogged about  (if they have comments enabled, and if they have track backs enabled, and if they approve it).  Usually it happens just fine.

Do this enough while your active in the digg community and your going to start seeing results from inside digg, and from the external benefits pretty quickly.  It’s pretty easy to take a brand new blog to hundreds of visits a day this way…. once your own organic SEO kicks in (that just takes time) it will be twice as good because you have so many places sending bots to you, links to you, and of course traffic.
