    3. This is a sneaky technique but Digg more and more deserves it :) they usually bring it on themselves by trying to be smarter then most :)

    Great post and thanks for sharing.

    4. Thanks for the idea…is it possible to add links in your comment in Digg?

    6. Interesting idea, that’s for sure. But what if some active diggers go and view that article again and bury you? Then the comment won’t be seen by non-registered users or SE’s (as far as I know, anyway)

    Cheers

    8. Great idea but digg banned my account yesterday without any explanation (as is their policy).
    I did ask them why but have yet to get a response so how am I supposed to know what not to do for next time? lol

    Will have to give this a go and see how they react!

    9. You’re right, if someone wants to double his traffic, he must face the consequences, I am one of the diggers so thanks for sharing.

    10. Very cool idea. Never thought about the “leftover” diggs but they are so time-sensitive. This is a very interesting way of getting linkbacks.

    13. Hi, I just heard that Digg is changing the way that you are able to view comments…that they are going to take down comments after the story gets older…to cut down on comment spam. Anyways, good article. I just wrote an article with 50 Tips from Top Digg Users to Get on The Front Page of Digg – I hope that your users find it useful. :-)

    Thanks.

    14. With current digg changes does it still effective?

    15. @Tommy: I just tested it on a Pagerank5 page, and it worked, but some of my comments don’t.
