According to their website,
The new Digg provides users with a personalized news experience with My News, and ensures that publishers receive predictable, relevant traffic from a highly engaged community. From small bloggers to large media brands, publishers everywhere are using Digg to engage with their readers and increase traffic to their content.
Well, we like the sound of that, even though it is yet another thing to learn and try to understand, we will give it a try.
Do you already Digg? Let us know what you think and how it has benefited your sites.
Digg can certainly drive traffic if you get to the front page, but it takes a widely popular topic to do that… and if you’re writing about Tenerife, you’re going to have to angle an article to be much more populist. So if you popped down to the beach, took 10 pics of attractive females in bikinis and another 10 of fat blokes in thongs and called the article ’10 best (and worst) beach fashions this summer’, you would have a good chance of getting high Digg traffic. (go on, Stephen, try it lol).
The problem is that traffic is a cost. RELEVANT traffic that you can convert is what you need… and you may not get that with a populist article on a niche blog.
Digg’s best use (that I have found) is in getting a page indexed quickly. But there are so many other ways to do that, too. So for me, Digg is one of a variety of ‘quick-index’ tools that I use from time to time.

Mmm, 10 best and 10 worst beach fashions, now there’s a project to consider. People watching is certainly something that I can imagine would get high Digg traffic. There are certainly plenty of opportunities on the beach in Tenerife!
And good luck explaining the bikini pics to Cathy.
