Bloggers Tips – Find out if your blog is popular on Digg
Social Media Optimization I think is just as important as SEO techniques when it comes to building traffic to a blog, especially early on. Social Media sites like del.icio.us, StumbleUpon or Digg can really help drive traffic to a site especially if they land in the top of a category if even for just one day.
If you have ever been curious to see if any of your blog posts have been Dugg by your readers well now you can find out with a quick and easy google search. This is just a really simple bloggers tips that you can apply to many of the Social Media sites out there.
1. Open up a new browser. Copy and paste the following as the address:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Adigg.com+yoursite.com
2. Replace “yoursite.com” with your actual domain name for example for me:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Adigg.com+thebloggingcenter.com
3. Hit go
What you see is all that Digg has on record for your blog. Are you getting any good exposure in there? Use this type of research to figure out where you should be spending your blog marketing time. If you are doing really well on one Social Media site then spend more time there to maximize your exposure where possible.

hi there!
This link was pretty useful. I pasted this link in google search box after replace yoursite.com with my blog URL and I received only two posts that were dugg.
But the fact is that they were dugg by me lol!

Hello samah,
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I try to post about various interests for blogging so will eventually start to cover ways to make money online with a blog and include topics about google adsense. As the blog is only a few weeks old now just trying to ramp up with various topics and then will dig in deeper.
Thanks again -
