Comments on: Social Media Spam is not for Links http://www.ogletreeseo.com/190.html Expert advice on search engine optimization Mon, 12 May 2008 08:54:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Dan - Life Coaching http://www.ogletreeseo.com/190.html#comment-52810 Dan - Life Coaching Wed, 26 Mar 2008 10:47:45 +0000 http://www.ogletreeseo.com/190.html#comment-52810 Well, there must be some good reasons to do it if so many people are. I guess with something like Viagra - there are so many people looking for it that it makes sense for these companies and people to spam their links everywhere. For other search phrases, it only takes a few links here and there to get good rankings. Surely Digg is fair game for this as are the other social media sites?

I tried before to find out some contents concerning criminal records removal. The search results were not good at all. From my point of view, Digg is only one of socia media websites to add more traffic to some certain websites people would like to link to. I never thought Digg could be a search engine.

I have never used digg because it is is not very populair in our country. Maby I should find out more about digg if it is so easy to get traffic. Seo in the Netherlands is way more difficult. All the tools.. tips.. and big websites are english. And almost every tool uses google.com (instead of google.nl). I am from the Netherlands.

Links bring direct traffic and also bring search engine "love". These work in different proportions for different people at different times. The initial rush of being "dugg" is a well-documented phenomenon - in fact having a server collapse under the load is one of the side-effects. Just thought I would try my own test right here - my name is not roxy, but my real name (John Hyde) is not quite as diggable. Wanted to see if anyone clicks thru :) People use Digg for all kinds of reasons - these are complementary. Links bring direct traffic and also bring search engine “love”.

When you get your digg to a the hot upcoming stories not to mention first page ( which is not hard if you know what you're doing, even without a friends network) you are automatically get your link into the RSS feed and your digg will be listed in other sites. Now, if you added a few keywords on your digg’s title without making it look spammy, your digg may get comments on the sites that subscribed to the feed and your new links will get more link juice for original content.

I wouldn't be surprised if many visitors from digg actually come from Google and click through.

Unless you are totally dedicated to spamming Digg pretty much every day, all day long, you will never get anywhere near the front page of Digg. The time to become a member of a large Digg network or the even grater time needed to try to develop a large Digg network is a complete waste of time for many. Diggers are not converters on most websites that get a Digg and the majority of sites that get a front page Digg didn't see it coming. I am not saying there are no Digg spammer networks in SEO. I am saying they are very quiet about it and it took a very long time to get where they are and they are always in danger of being "found out" and banished from Digg forever.

Most of these articles about getting links from digg are not about just getting into to digg. It is about getting on the front page of digg so people will notice you and link to you. Just getting into digg does nothing for you as far as links. The Viagra people you are talking about are the same people that spam every forum and blog on the internet that have nofollow tags. It has nothing to do with links. They get traffic from it. They do care about the 11 visitors a link can get. They just get thousands of links like this. All the articles you read about SEO and social media is about something else. I guess what I'm trying to say is you used the wrong examples to prove your point. Your getting 2 things confused.

This is not true. The real reason is that sites like www.digg.com are search engines themselves." I hate to disagree, but it is true. Not for you, not for some, but perusing through the respected SEO forums, networks, blogs, etc, will reveal an overwhelming concensus about the link building abilities of Digg for real search engines. SEO spammers aren't interested in the 11 people a month who search for viagra. They're going after the 1.1 million searching for it on the search engines. “that talked about how people spam social media sites to get more links. This is not true.
