Business Blogs

Hey baby, you Digg my Business? Well, that’s a bit more casual for a business blog to be news at Digg.com. But, it sure makes a great tag line though, does it not? Great tag lines and great headlines make for good marketing and smart news stories. You need to get your blog posts on Digg.com every time, that is, if you want to promote your blog. Why, because of the Digg effect.

Have you heard of the Digg.com or heard of “The Digg Effect” yet? Well, if you have not heard of it or not been there yet, you should go there as soon as you finish reading this blog. Digg is not a house hold name yet, but in the tech community and among it’s rivals it stands out at at a huge success. It’s a ratings engine for news, videos, blogs, you name it people Digg it! Microsoft just did a deal with Digg.com to provide advertising on the Digg network. This was the largest advertisement distribution deal by Live.com the Search Engine Marketing arm of MS.

We actually had Digg features within our News section of blogs, so we think highly of end user rating systems and blog/news aggregators. So does Bill Gates as mentioned in his futurist conversation with Donny on “The Big Idea” recently. So How does Digg work, and why is it good for your search marketing business? The Digg effect is that people are getting plethora of traffic from Digg, at times enough to crash there servers. Is Digg good for your SEO and search marketing and search rankings? I dont’ really know for sure, but I do think it’s good for you to develop community around your blogs, posts, and it’s definitely a great way for you to promote your blog. It is limited in what it does, and don’t try to make it your the place to be online. Well maybe, if you are in to Digging things, news, blogs etc. What I am trying to say is, it’s not your all in one social networking site like MySpace or Facebook.

Go after your goals, as soon as you are done posting to your blog, go to Digg and post it as a story for people to read. It’s really simple, and let’s hope you get the Digg effect, tons of traffic folks, people at Digg are active.
