What are Digg's guidelines for promoting content to the homepage?

Asked 2 years ago
Digg's guidelines for promoting content to the homepage focus on several key aspects that content creators and users should keep in mind. First and foremost, content should be high-quality, engaging, and relevant to the Digg community. This means that the articles, videos, or other types of media should resonate with users and offer value, whether through entertainment, information, or a unique perspective. The submission process also encourages originality. Users are urged to share content that is either their own or properly credited if it is from another source. Plagiarized or recycled content may not perform well and could lead to negative feedback from the community. Additionally, user engagement plays a significant role. The more votes or "Diggs" a submitted piece receives, the higher its potential for being featured on the homepage. Therefore, fostering an active discussion around the content and generating interest is crucial. Quality comments can enhance visibility and strengthen community engagement. Users should also observe guidelines regarding spammy behavior. Submissions seen as overly promotional without genuine value may be downvoted or flagged. For the most current and specific information, checking Digg's official website or guidelines section is advisable, as policies and practices may evolve over time. Overall, successful home page promotion relies on creating compelling content while fostering positive interactions within the Digg community.
