How to get to the front page etc. But despite all that - Digg is not about giving traffic to bloggers. May be it was like that earlier, but their focus is more on big news sites and some favorite blogs now. So you have a very small chance. Two, you have to become powerful in digg. For that, you should submit enough stories from big sites which are already popular, make friends with hundreds of diggers, and gain credibility - and only then try your own site. It is not worth the effort for most people. If you look at top diggers submissions, they most of the time submit famous sites only. Small sites' submission ratio will be maybe 5 % of their total submissions. And then of course, your content has to be good. Average will not do. Your content has to appeal to the digg community - and you wont learn what it is by submitting your site. You learn what it is by submitting articles from their favorite sites and learning over a period of time. 3 months of making friends, active digging, commenting, networking, and unselfish article submissions is what you need. And then you learn to create digg-worthy content. Mixx, reddit, stumbleupon etc are good places to practise.

Also in any community you should make friends, they are much more better than just spreading your post to anonymous people that they don't know you!
