My traffic jumped 25% yesterday which I think will be a permanent increase. Some of the increase is definitely because I’ve improved my Technorati optimisation which seems to have helped other search engines as well, but the majority of the increase is because I’ve started submitting my articles to Digg.
Although none of my articles have made it onto Digg’s homepage yet, it is already accounting for around 10% of my total traffic. It’ll be interesting to see what this figure will go up to once/if I get some articles onto the Digg homepage.
I’m guessing that each article needs around 20-30 diggs before it gets promoted. To ‘Digg’ any of my posts click on the ‘submit to digg’ link I added to every post last week.
Submitting articles to Digg takes around 1-2 minutes per article so from now on I’m going to submit every post I make.
