Use Digg to Promote Your eHow Articles : Multi-thousand tips to make your life easier.

If you want to increase traffic to your eHow articles, consider promoting your work on Digg. Digg is a social news website that gives articles the needed exposure. The mechanics are simple. You need to post your articles to the site and allow Digg users to vote for them (“digg”). More votes mean good traffic. If your articles make it to the Digg homepage, you will get even better traffic results. Here’s how you can use Digg to promote your eHow articles.

• Make an account. The good thing about Digg is that signing up for an account is free and simple. Just go to the Sign up section and type in the required information. It takes only a few minutes to make an account, and you can use the website immediately after signing up.
• Submit your eHow articles. Go to your eHow article page. Locate the Digg Submit button and click it. You will then have to follow the instructions and provide the required information, including the URL of the eHow article, a short description, and a category. Once everything is entered, submit the article. Submission can be completed within minutes.
• Wait for people to digg your eHow articles. By the looks of things, people like to digg how-to articles. This means only one thing: you have an edge. However, remember that people do demand substantial and informative articles. So if your eHow articles do not have these two qualities, they lose any chance of being dugg. But if they are really good, the articles can gather votes very quickly.
• Digg your own articles. Voting for your own articles is permissible. However, make sure not to digg only what you have written. Digg is a community, which means you should also consider digging the articles other Digg users wrote. Who knows? They might return the favor by digging your eHow articles. But remember not to use this as a strategy. You should only digg the articles that are worth digging. Digging articles in the hope of being dugg is a form of cheating.
• Create backlinks. Backlinks are links to your eHow articles that are embedded in other websites. If you have a Digg listing plus several backlinks, your articles will get a higher ranking in search engine results. However, make sure to limit your backlinks to a number that does not qualify as spamming.
• Submit anyway. What if your articles receive no votes other than the ones you made yourself? It’s okay. Even if your articles are not dugg, they can still make it to search engine results. As long as your articles are on Digg, they will get pretty high traffic. But of course, it is still best to be dugg.

There are other social news sites that you can use. One example is Netscape. Compared to Digg, Netscape measures ranking by the number of votes an article gets in a particular timeframe. The more votes it gains in a short period of time, the higher its ranking will be.
