You put content on your own website and then you go to Digg.com, sign up completely free. It's mostly for news and things like that. So what happens is, if people like the articles they dig them. So as more people click on your article your ranking goes up. So if one person sees your article they dig it. Then if another person likes your article they click the digg again and so on and the more diggs you have the higher your ranking.
Now if your article is really popular, you can actually end up on the front page of dig and then you just get insane amounts of traffic, because millions of people visit that front page everyday. But from the point of view of search engine optimization, you literally put your article on your blog or your website, go to Digg.com, submit it, ping your article or ping your blog just using something like Pingoat.com or Pingomatic.com so the search engines know your article is out there and in about six hours you could be listed in Google.
Basically I started my first website at about 16 years of age. I created a ringtone site. Ringtones, as you have probably noticed, became a little bit of a phenomenon, but when I started, there was nobody doing it.
So all I did was email a few radio stations and eventually got some national coverage. I got 5 minutes on one of the Irish radio stations and it landed me 40,000 hits to that website.
Unfortunately the site wasn’t monetized, because I was young and naïve and didn't really know exactly what I was doing. But thankfully, since then things have changed. I'm much more proficient in internet marketing. That's basically my very first internet marketing story
