How to get on Digg Homepage
Yesterday I added a Interview from Retire at 21 to Digg, it was about the kid prodigy Carl Ocab with his money making blog!
How to get on Digg HomePage
1. Plan your digg. I luckily had the number 1 Buzz Marketer at my disposal who came up with a cracking title which every Digg user had to click! “mommy, can i cash my Google checks now?”. You will not get to the front page of Digg with a bad title!
2. Submit your article and link to the digg from your article page.
3. Email your mailing list, tell all your friends and promote your story on related forums. This will not work if you have a bad story, no one wants to read a article on how to make money with Google Adsense any more.
4. Depending on what time of day it is the more Digg’s you will need, you have typically 12 - 24 hours to get enough Digg’s to get homepage. In the morning you will need around 30 Digg’s to hit homepage, in the afternoon you will need around 50 and in the evening you will need as many as 100.
So you will have plenty of time to get enough Digg’s, if you start in the evening when most people are on and get your first 40 Digg’s, when you get up in the morning you should not need many more Digg’s to get on the front page!
To see how many Digg’s you will need to get on the homepage, view the almost page.
The Effects of getting on Digg Homepage
- 100,000s of visitors
- Your server will crash!
- Not targeted traffic
- Hard to make money from digg users!
- 100s of back links from some related website’s
- Search Engines rank you quickly and efficiently!

Yesterday i was having a conversation with a friend who owned a gap years company and i was saying how i can sell my products for $100.00 all day long on the internet using my techniques, he said to me “But Michael my products are not $100.00 there $4000.00, surely this can not work for me”.
And i replied, yes it can…
Promoting your Website
Pay Per Click - Paying per click is great with high price tag products as long as you know how to write your advert. Make sure to include your massive price in the advert so only people who can afford to pay that price will click the advert. For pay per click i use Google Adwords.
Affiliate Programs - Affiliate programs allow you to get a lot of traffic and you only pay for the visitors who buy your product. Affiliate programs work so, you give your affiliate a referral url which they link to on there website. This url has a tracking id in it so you know every time someone buys a product from that url. Imagine if you have 1000 affiliates (i know many people with 10x that amount), and they all sell your $3000 product once a month, that’s $3,000,000 extra revenue (deduct there 15% commission fee) you would of never had.
Making the Sale
Success Story’s and Testimonials
Like i always say, nothing sells better than a customer selling a customer, “This Product Changed my Life”!
- Have testimonials all the way down your sales pages
- Include names and pictures to let your visitors know there real people and real testimonials
- Try get your customers to make video or audio testimonials, send them a Microphone or a Web camera to make the testimonial, its worth it!

Here’s a list of my 7 favorite ways to increase your blog’s traffic:
News Letter
When anyone signs up for your news letter you will be able to email them about promotional offers and website updates. When ever you add a new blog post to your blog, your news letter subscribers will be emailed to let them know about the latest updates. So if your blogging every day, you will have all your subscribers notified about your latest posts.
I recommend either to use Aweber or Feedburner for this, Feedburner doesn’t allow you to capture emails but Feedburner is free.
Blog Rush
Blogrush is one of the most innovative new ways to get traffic to your blog for FREE! Most options for getting traffic to your blog are Really Expensive or take a lot of your time. Well there’s now a another option, BlogRush is by far the cheapest and fastest way to get exposure for your blog.
Here’s how it works:
You will add a BlogRush Widget to your blog, you will then have your posts automatically promoted on related blog’s across the internet. Every time your page loads it will show the blogrush widget, it will contain 5 blog titles. When any page on your website gets loaded, you earned the right to get your blog post titles viewed on someone else’s related blog. So if your website is viewed 100 times in one day, Blogrush will show one of your Blog Titles on related blog’s Blogrush Widget 100 times that sane day

Social Bookmarking
Social Bookmarking sites allow web surfers to save, catalog and share web pages they find online. The most popular social bookmarking website’s have millions of visitors going to there website’s every day to find out the latest and craziest news around. Users will vote your website up or down whether they like it or not. It doesn’t matter if your blog post is about “how you can loose 10 stone by..” or “Apply Announces iPhone” it is well worth the potential 1000’s of visitors it could bring you!
a set of icons at the bottom of a post that allow you to quickly bookmark the current page at a number of social bookmarking sites (Digg, Del.icio.us, blink, furl, etc.). You can see this plugin in action on my blog.

Blog Reviews
Blog reviews can bring a website massive amounts of targeted traffic, depending on the website that reviews you. Receive valuable feedback, buzz, traffic, and links back to your website!
Reviewme allows you to Browse there Marketplace of the top blog’s on the Internet. Purchase a review of your blog or service directly from a related blog.
Invite Blog Posters
Blog posters offer a great chance to get alot of new content for free. If you can get someone well known in your niche to do a featured blog post you could gain alot of publicity and would give you a great chance to improve all the above.
Comment on Related Blog’s
Give helpful feedback on related blog’s and leave your website url at the end of it. If people are seeing you offer something new they will appreciate it and will have a look at your website and leave a comment back.
Search Engine Optimization
When blogging keep in mind what people will be searching for, blog about something people will be searching for in a couple weeks time like “Who wins the Apprentice 2007″.
