Understanding Digg, Reddit, and Other Social News Sites

Good podcast gentlemen. Tom hit the nail on the head when speaking about posting splogs (spam blogs) to the community. These sites self police pretty well. I find that when talking about Digg and the large aggregators that a marketer must ask what is the overall value of the traffic. Many folks try to use Digg to drive adsense clicks but fail to realize that most of Digg traffic does not convert. Others use "Diggbait" when there is a commission-per-page-view monetization strategy(I'm looking at you Gawker media). Ultimately, in my opinion, Digg is useful for driving traffic where a small percentage will provide a backlink or amplify your wonderful content in some meaningful way.

Thanks Christopher. Great insight on when Digg works and when it doesn't.

Request to get podcast via regular RSS feed that's not iTunes specific. I have two PMP devices that are my phone and a Zune and can't download to my device.

This is way more helpful than anything else I've lokeod at.
