Does Digg Really Matter?

icon1 Posted by SEO'd in Thoughts on 08 21st, 2008 | no responses

You may have heard stories about how Digg can help you move up the search engine rankings and double or triple your SEO conversions. But is that really true? The simple answer is yes and no. Digg, Wikipedia, and all other Web 2.0 social networks have pretty much implemented the no-follow tag on their links. So you get a link but it is pretty much ignored by search engines. Does that mean that you should not go after these links? That’s not true at all. Unlike some SEOs claim, no-follow links are actually very valuable, if they are obtained from the right sources. For instance, Digg links don’t help your rankings directly, but if your story shows up on the front page of Digg, you can get a thousand or sometimes more backlinks from various sources. Not every story shows up on Digg’s home page, so you can’t expect to get those results. Nevertheless, adding Digg and other social media sites to your SEO campaign can help out a lot in the long run. But whatever you do, you want things to happen natually. Anythin that looks unnatural is bad for you and your business (Whether its adding 1000 links in a minute or digging 20 of your own stories on Digg).
