Both arguments have valid points. I say submit to digg and see how it does for you, but also use the other niche social news sites that have emerged. Those will be better for you since they offer a more targeted community.

I think any social media sites that proves to have considerable users ought to have credibility and must be an ideal marketplace for link building. Digg is one of the most respected social media sites. In fact, most of the credible blogs I’ve read even include Digg it option at the bottom so Digg must have been so popular and credible.

Old social media sites have greater file archives and as such consider to have greater authority in terms of search engine placement. Having blogs listed on this site is a worthwhile investment since your blog may get flagged with lots of their users.

I must admit that I first I thought twitter was stupid but I have really turned around. I think I’m addicted and also it’s the third most popular traffic provider for me behind Google and Yahoo

Darren, You are absolutely right, blogs which talk about blogging tips and making money online has less chances to perform well. I have experienced this myself. I have not got any considerable traffic or sales from Digg, but my other blog with a different topic performs well. I have never tried sphinn, but have heard a lot about that… Need to try

Digg can be a very frustrating experience. Sometimes you’ll get picked up quickly and the momentum swings your way, other times you’ll get barely (if any) Diggs.

That was one of the reasons I developed Publicity Wheel (http://www.publicitywheel.com), to effectively take this Digg-effect and move it away from this hit-and-miss effect (along with more natural traffic). Hopefully we’re getting there.

What I hate about Digg is they will flag you for spam if you have a small amount of diggs and yet the content that is the same subject will not get flagged when it has a high number of diggs, they are totally biased over there.

There are a lot more social bookmarking sites out there that can help your blog, I recommend searching for social bookmarking and submitting to a few.

Thanks for this! I agree getting the right social media for the audience you want to reach is paramount. I’ve had really good experiences with stumbleupon: it is awesome learning from other users, exploring with others.

Just as I had praised Digg last time though, and even made a new friend there today, I find myself staring at what I thought was a knockout post and hahahahaha I’ve got barely 30 diggs.

If any of you want to add me and shout out to me 800 times a minute like everyone else on digg, http://digg.com/users/ashok – I digg nearly everything nowadays like a trained monkey. Maybe worse, monkeys might actually hesitate.
