Things You'll Need:
- Sign up to Digg.com
-
Step 1
Add tons of friends on Digg. It is not necessary to know these people in real life. Not everyone will add you as friends. Simply give people a week or two to add you, and if they don't, then simply remove them later on because there is a max limit of how many friends you can have on Digg. Try to add people who are very active because you don't want to add people who are not active in the community. Inactive people won't help you much. This whole idea of adding active friends and filtering out people on your list can take a long time to build up, but you need to have patience.

Step 2
Digg doesn't like people to self-promote their own site to Digg. For instance, if you own a blog, and you submit every blog post you have to Digg, you will get banned from Digg. It is okay to submit your blog posts every now and then. It is best that you ask one of your Digg friends to submit your site for you. That way it looks natural, but be sure to return favor by submitting your friends' sites too.

Step 3
After you have a lot of mutual friends, you will have a lot of people to share your posts with. Use the shout button and select your friends to share with them. This is why step #1 is very crucial to help you boost traffic to your site. When you have a lot of people to Digg your site, your site can potentially be on the front page of Digg.com, and the traffic to your site will skyrocket.
