The Digg Effect - My first experience
Got my first success at digg and it was too hot to handle
http://digg.com/tech_news/The_Horror..._Google_w_pics
Bandwidth: 58124.99 MB and for the first time my site was down (the page views killed me)
Highlights :
Jumped to the no 1 in all the blog topsites
Increase in Adsense Revenue - 35$
70+ blog linkbacks (As per Technorati)
Increase in the number of subscribers with 300+ added readers via feedburner
Have register 60K uniques on Day one and 24K uniques in Day two...
My usual is 2K per day
So now i understand why people love digg so much

I was just looking at this site. I am ashamed to say I have never been on the site. Looking through these pages to day, I can see i've been missing out.

Wow, that's cool. But... I've clicked on your link, landed on the digg page, clicked on the link there to find your site and ... could find no pictures! Did they vanish?

Congratulations on the traffic explosion. I'm sorry about having to take stuff down though, that sucks.

did you actively try to get promoted on digg? or did people just find your site and digg it?

lol...congrats on actually pulling some revenue out of it. You picked a good keyword. Seems like Digg is Apple, Google, Nude/scantily clad women, and atheist happy to me. I get a lot of traffic when one of my posts are submitted, but the conversions are usually pretty low for Adsense. It's not a clicky crowd typically. To me it is a waste of bandwidth to use it a lot for the amount of revenue it turns into.

digg is one of the best way to have your site known, but then your site should be prepared for the traffic too, such that the tendency for your site to go down, unfortunately digg and other social media is somehow and sometime a haven for spammers http://digg.com/security/Why_spammer...al_media_sites
congrats for that digg success

Earners Blog
Probably my favorite blog to read is earnersblog.com. The blogger, Stuart, has a good post about becoming a Digg Power User.
Earnersblog Digg Article
One of his posts helped me earn nearly $1500 in one month in affiliate commissions without the use of a website.

I recently go into Digg, I really like the idea of user powered news. Although it would be nice if they'd carve out a little section on the home page for real news. I starting spending a lot of time on Digg and stopped dropping by cnn.com - I missed a few big stories.

I'm surprised you go that many diggs, considering you were just copy/pasting from another site. Generally digg users pick up on this and are quick to link directly to the originating source.
