Recently, I posted a story on Digg.com. The story related to a Vidcast called Systm. The host of Systm, Kevin Rose, is also the founder of Digg.com, meaning that it was going to be a hit. In fact, it was able to get to the homepage in under an hour. The story can be viewed here. Currently it has 2582 diggs. The problem was that the story’s domain name Revision3.com was not allowed to be submitted to digg, because it had been reported by some jokers. I got around this by creating a javascript redirect page, hosted on my own server. The stats on my server jumped, the results were crazy. With only 2000 diggs, I had 14,000 unique visitors that day.
Jus incase you havent already seen it another blog documented the Digg effect visually.
Stats are the new Black!
The real question is: How much extra $$$ did it bring you? Any ad clicks? Sold more t-shirts? Increase in PR ranking?
no, this was only a redirect page so they didn’t view anything on the site. the purpose of showing you how powerful digg can be when a site is posted
