"I’ve only been on Digg for 12 days and have had 3 of 5 of my last submissions go popular and hit the front page of Digg (the first one generated 40,000 visitors in 8 hours of front page visibility). It would have been 5 for 5 but the vigilante auto-bury crew began targeting me yesterday. I want to share this information with you so that it overwhelms the self-appointed censors; they can't bury every single item submitted on Digg now can they? FACT: Digg.com's new algorithm is badly broken and so easy to get around."
"Don’t believe me? Just look at the top three of my Digg favorites on my profile (if it is still there when you check it, if my profile isn’t there then I have been banned on Digg because of this) all three went popular and hit the front page. All three of these hit the front page within the last week"

Before we get started let me ask you a question. Do your Digg submissions only get a few votes? Or have you been hit by disappearing submissions (buries) and have no idea why? Then you should read this entire article, heck print it out and save it. Anyone can now have their items on the front page of Digg and it is so easy to accomplish.
After reading this over, please share this article with every one you know and on every social news and bookmark site that you can. You can help others that have been targeted by
Digg’s vigilante auto-bury gangs.
Since the staff at
Digg.com refuses to do anything about vigilante
Digg users targeting and burying other
Digg members submissions I am going to tell you how you can get nearly anything you want on the front page of Digg and cause the auto-bury Diggers as many problems as I can. It will probably get me banned on Digg.
I imagine I will get banned at
Digg for this, but that’s okay, maybe it will cause the Digg staff to take action against the idiots that bury items just because they can.
I do ask that someone does
Digg this (to piss them off), if you do send a shout to me (
GIMAD2008) on Digg.com.
When you are done playing around on Digg give
Mixx.com a try, the quality of people is much better than on Digg.com.
Mixx.com has so much more to offer.
What you are about to read below defeats the algorithm changes on Digg.com and will get your submissions on the front page. You can thank the Digg auto bury crew for helping me to discover this.
I’ve only been on
Digg for 12 days and have had 3 of 5 of my last submissions go popular and hit the front page of Digg (the first one generated 40,000 visitors in 8 hours of front page visibility). It would have been 5 for 5 but the vigilante auto-bury crew began targeting me yesterday. I want to share this information with you so that it overwhelms the self-appointed censors; they can't bury every single submission on Digg now can they?
FACT: Digg's new algorithm is badly broken and easy to get around.
Don’t believe that this works? Just look at the top three of my
Digg favorites on my profile (if it is still there when you check it, if my profile isn’t there then I have been banned on Digg because of this) all three went popular and hit the front page. All three of these hit the front page in the last week.
Did you know it only takes from 120 to 150 Diggs to get ANY story on the front page of Digg? It does not matter what it is, enough Diggs will put you on the front page and the Digg algorithm will not stop it. I also figured out how to defeat the Digg algorithm and get those 120 to 150 Diggs. It just requires a bit of elbow grease.
I would not have figured this out if it had not been for a couple of vigilante Digg members burying my stuff on Digg. So be sure to thank the following Digg users for burying my stuff and helping me to figure out how to propel submissions to the front page.
The Digg users you should thank are sockpuppets, robbh66, doshindude, and kurupttek. Be sure to send them a shout and thank them (please do it, it will so piss them off).
I am sharing this information with you to make it extremely difficult for the auto-bury crew and other Digg.com users to censor what you read on Digg. The more folks that use method the harder it becomes on the auto bury gangs of Digg.com. Help cause some havoc and use this method! Anyone can get on the front page of Digg using this!
Since the staff at
Digg.com do not respond to my emails, I am going to share this item with anyone and everyone who cares to read it. I hope that it will cause enough havoc to throw the staff and their algorithm into seizures.
I am a recent newcomer to Digg and without realizing it, I found out how to get nearly any item you want to go popular and get massive traffic. Just be careful the digg auto-bury gangs love picking on new users.
It all boils down to using Digg like it is supposed to be used, networking socially with others.
It generally will take 5 to 18 hours to for your items to hit the front page of Digg.com using this method. Best thing is that this defeats the recent algorithm changes put in place recently by the folks at Digg.
This will work for brand news Digg users and veteran Diggers alike. If you are new to Digg though it may take 10-14 days to be able to pull this off.
Here is the secret to getting massive Digg traffic and show up on the front page. Good luck to the auto bury idiots on Digg, I am about to make your life a lot harder, you will never wade through all the submissions and kill them all. You should have left me alone, now anyone and everyone can get front page. Seeing as Digg auto-bury folks like to censor stuff you will have a lot of work to try and kill the massive influx of popular stories. I am going to give you back some of what you gave me.
This will work for brand new Digg users and veteran Diggers alike. If you are new to Digg though it may take 10-14 days to be able to pull this off. Stock up on mutual friends, Digg new people and get about 100-300 mutual friends that will allow you to send them shouts.
Now here is the work part. It takes several hours of your time so be ready to put some work into this.
First make your shouts private or only visible to your friends, this helps keep the auto bury gangs from seeing what you are up to. Even if you don’t use this method make your shouts private to keep the problem Diggers from having any more information than they should have.
Post your new submissions as usual, and then shout it to your friends. Be careful to not double shout your messages, I select 30 friends at a time and shout the new item to them. It may take a while as the Digg shout system only allows about 30 friends at a time or the shout system freezes. If the Digg shout system is slow, only shout 15 at a time.
Only do one submission at a time this way, do not dilute your efforts by submitting too many. One item per day is a good number.
A note, only shout one item per day or you risk angering your mutual friends.
Next add the new submission to your favorites so that it is on the top of the list.
You will notice over the course of the next few hours that about half to 2/3 of your mutual friends will vote on your item.
HERE IS THE KEY TO GETTING ANYTHING YOU WANT ON THE FRONT PAGE OF DIGG.COM
Now go to the main Digg news and go to upcoming (newest stuff), start Digging your friends and as many other submissions that you can. There is a reason for this.
Ignore the lame stuff (don’t Digg the porn, warez, get rich quick or other obvious crud). You need to do this a LOT, it is worth 4-8 hours of Digging others items to get on the front page of Digg. The point is to Digg up vote hungry Digg submitters, if you Digg enough of them you will find that the vote hungry submitters will visit your profile and vote on your favorite items. Guaranteed.
Add any new friend requests as they come in so you can build your arsenal of friendly Diggers.
The vote hungry Diggers are the key to all of this, so Digg every one you can. I only Digg items I am interested in, but it does not really matter, as you want to get the needed 120 to 150 Diggs you need for your item to go popular. Digg as many items as you can. I open three or four tabs at a time on my web browser and Digg items like mad in several categories.
You will end up with more non-friend Diggs than mutual friend Diggs and this is what gets past (beats) the new algorithm. It's that simple!
I spend an average of 4 to 8 hours Digging new stuff (low Digg vote upcoming items of non friends) and it general takes 8 to 18 hours for the item to go popular. The time till it goes popular varies, but it has taken as long as 17 hours for my items to hit the front page. Of course, the harder you work at this, the faster your item will hit the front page of Digg.
That was easy wasn’t it!
This method defeats the Digg algorithm completely so go for it, it is worth tens of thousands of visitors for your website.
When you are finished getting your items on the front page of Digg and wreaking havoc on the Digg auto-bury gangs be sure to stop in at
Mixx.com and experience quality social networking.
