(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>In the last few weeks we\u2019ve spoken to you a lot about the importance of using sites like Stumble Upon, Digg and Delicious to get the word out about your web content.\u00a0 Digg is one of the most popular of these sites \u2013 in fact there are estimated to be 400 million users on the site and this figure if forever growing.\u00a0 So what does this mean for you?\u00a0 Well, if you add your content to Digg you have an extra 400 million people that <em>could <\/em>technically find your website.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Type of Sites Does Digg Benefit?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Digg is a social media website and it works by people viewing content and then \u201cdigging\u201d it if they think it\u2019s cool.\u00a0 This is almost like the Facebook share button and it is possible for your content to go viral if you are sharing what the Digg users like.\u00a0 Unfortunately this doesn\u2019t mean that every site will benefit.\u00a0 If for example you are purely sharing content that is trying to sell something, you are unlikely to impress anyone.\u00a0 The majority of the users on Digg are there to browse through interesting webpages; they are not there to buy something.\u00a0 Therefore the best content to share on this site is contact that grabs the reader, tells them something new and doesn\u2019t sell them something.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Benefits of Digg<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We should say here, that you are unlikely to receive much targeted traffic through Digg unless you somehow manage to get your webpages advertised on the first page.\u00a0 However, this doesn\u2019t mean Digg has no benefits.\u00a0 Digg is a great way to get people interested in your website and if a user likes what you have to say they may subscribe or \u201cfollow\u201d you on other social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook.\u00a0 In addition, it has been known for people to write blog articles that get shared extensively which not only increases your traffic but also your number of backlinks \u2013 it\u2019s win win!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where Do I Start?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you want to know how the whole Digg process works your best option is to sign up to the site and use it yourself.\u00a0 You can then manually add links to webpages that you want to share.\u00a0 By joining in on the site you can get a hang of how things work; this is the best way to really benefit.\u00a0 In addition to this you should also add a Digg social media button to your webpages \u2013 this is a great way for your website readers to also share the content that they like.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Digg Links Checker Tool<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We at Pingler have a <a href=\"http:\/\/pingler.com\/seo-tools\/digg-links-checker\/\"
