Get Productive on DiggPosted by Don in PMS Social Suite, Digg |
You can now have a few quick peeks at the new capabilities of our PMS Social Suite! We've put up a few videos on YouTube that walk you through some of the really interesting points. For starters, here is a quick overview of the dashboard:
Hot Articles to Submit
There are a lot of reasons that you want to submit excellent content to social networks, other than just being a good unpaid worker for these sites:
- Build a Following - Submitting articles that are likely to hit the front page will bring you exposure to the community, resulting in more people seeking you out as a friend. It's a lot easier to have people find you than to find other people.
- Get Your Percentage Up - Having a higher "Made Popular" percentage will bring you more credibility, helping you even further in building your friends list on Digg.
- Hide Your Real Submissions - Yes, you're doing this because you want 1 out of 20 of your submissions to be for URLs that will actually make you some money. If you only submit your own stuff, you'll get labeled a spammer. But if only 5% of your submissions have this hidden motive, you'll fly right under the radar. Don't take this as advice to submit your own material. What you should really be doing is building up a large enough offline friend base that you can get other people to (seemingly) randomly submit your material. And, of course, you'll want to be able to submit things for your friends without appearing to only submit items with a financial motive.
We've made this much easier than it is to do by hand. We constantly track over 200 rss feeds with a history of making it to the front page of Digg. We present you with a list of articles randomly selected from these sources and verified to have not already been submitted to Digg. Just click the link and you'll go to the article page. If you've got the Digg This Firefox Plugin installed, just select the text from the article that you want to be in the summary and right click the menu item to Digg the article. Viola, you've made a submission that's has a chance to make it popular!
Interesting Diggers
One of the more useful features of the new dashboard is the Interesting Diggers section. We've got a crack team constantly delving through our data to find Diggers that would make good friends, but aren't necessarily the first people you would look at. In fact, you probably wouldn't find the few hundred interesting Diggers out there out of the hundred thousand or so active Diggers. What makes an Interesting Digger? We talked about them in our article on Stalking Small Game on Digg. Here's the sofware in action:
