Here’s a screenshot of a story that became popular with a whopping 235 Diggs. It was taken the night of January 28, 2008 (approximately 11PM EST): While Digg typically allowed stories to hit the front page within 80-120 votes (the latter being more rare than normal), it’s now requiring almost double the number.

With FaceBook you will want to befriend your fans on your profile (if done for your personal business & not a corporate one) and when you add them create a group that is just for your fans so you can easily look at just their updates and interact with your fans. You shouldn’t stop at just your fan page and profile though.

This is especially misplaced with group written blogs, where the broad content focus and inconsistent tonality makes RSS subscription less likely. Yet, in much of my social media consulting work corporate blog owners are invariably most interested in total visits and RSS subscribers. How can I help you?

Linkedin lead generation requires commitment to answering and asking questions on Groups/Answers, taking advantage of the deep searches, and connecting directly with those around you in your network. People love the prospect of submitting to Digg, for example, and some immediately submit the spammiest articles to the service.

Include a photo of yourself on every page, and if it’s a group written blog, include photos of each author. Also, while I think it’s somewhat less likely that a first-time visitor will tweet or Digg or Stumble your work (I’d love to see a study on that), you should make that process as easy as possible as well.

And if you’re using StumbleUpon to solicit votes on Digg, do you think Digg doesn’t notice? If you want success on your Digg (or other social network) submissions, you better to do it under the radar. For example “hey can you Digg, Reddit, mixx ,Prop and of course stumbles are appreciated.&#

Also, one story on the Digg home page does not an expert make.

Find relevant groups and start talking to those people. If you can be a valued, informative person in these groups then you will be able to build trust as more and more people interact with you.
