Digg Traffic, Annoying Leeches?

As it turns out the latest analysis is out, it works out that Diggers click three times less than average google'ers. That means that chances of digg traffic ever to be monitized is close to never! The three main giants of blogosphere had the same view as far digg traffic goes and said that the best thing to do after that is to blog very nice catchy titled pages because right after getting dug by users, they didnt just see a surge in normal traffic and digg traffic but also from some google.com and other search engine traffic. This means that google, believe it or not, gives a crap about digg.com. This is shocking knews to me because I felt digg goes against everything that google has ever tried to avoid. Digg users are basically one of those who come, visit and leave instantly, never stay for a chat and do not care much for your site. They do give awesome cliks but compared to the traffic and bandwidth leeching, your better off with out them, they almoast cause so much CPU load that your blog/site crashes as it is.

The residual effect of Digg is something that most bloggers/site owners do not talk about. I think its this traffic one should always aim his/her site for. What I mean by residual traffic is when you blog something and it gets dugg, if people find interesting, they go home and blog about it on their blogs, this gives you residual traffic as it builds up some normal traffic as well as your search engine traffic as search engines start giving you more weight for your actions and reactions. That is by far the only thing worth doing for as far as digg.com traffic goes. Something to think about when you try to market your digg.com traffic is if its worth the pain of blogging for them as they end up screwing you more often than making you any money!
