Digg Hack:How to repost buried stories in digg

Ever been victim of the digg lobby.Saw your story disappear before it got enough exposure.If yes is the answer then read on.Sometimes good stories and post disappear in the midst of junk.If you got any such posts in your hand then get ready to re post it and give a fight for it.But before i tell you the trick let me tell you a story.About an year back i happened to post an image here at Blogger Whale which i thought was very interesting and hoped that the digg crowd will shower its digg and put me on the front page.I had very much confidence in the pic alone that i didn't do much to promote the post at digg.I posted the story and waited for a response.The story got buried in no time.

I was very disappointed.About a month later i reposted the post.This time i targeted the geek community at digg,usually the guys who read science and technology + the guy who read softwares and coding stuff.I changed the title a bit and waited.In half an hour my effort started showing colours and i was on the front page.Hours later the pic gathered more attention and by this day it stands one of the most popular(digged) pics of all time at digg.


I first posted the article with this link:http://bloggerwhale.blogspot.com/2007/03/dont-trust-your-eyes.html

Reposted the story with this link:http://bloggerwhale.blogspot.com/2007/03/dont-trust-your-eyes.html#

If i had to repost it again i would use this link:http://bloggerwhale.blogspot.com/2007/03/dont-trust-your-eyes.html##

I hope you understood the trick.Hope this information was useful.

How long will it take for a blog / website take to get indexed by google?

This is a question every startup blogger will be interested in knowing.Usually blogspot blogs will start to indexed when google spiders understand it to be legitimate.The correct time period for getting indexed is unpredictable but i can suggest you certain things that will certainly boost up the speed of indexing.

Task1.Write 10-20 well designed post.Desirably between 100-150 words.
Task2.Go to Google webmaster tools and submit a sitemap for you site once you are done with task1
Task3.Add your blog to Google
Task4.Start posting in social bookmarking sites like digg and del.icio.us.This will get you some exposure and your pages will get indexed by
google while those sites get indexed.
Task5.Post regularly atleast 1 post per day.
Task6.Meanwhile add your blog url to blog directories.
Task7.Last and the most important tip.Show some perseverance it won't be long when you start seeing your pages on search engines.

Viral Linking 2:Add your icon

Looks like the latest buzz in the blogging lounge is viral linking.One after another new viral links are starting.And it's only great.Because at the end of the day only links matter.Here's one more method started by The Thinking Blog.

1.) Upload your non-animated favicon (GIF image of size 16x16 pixels) to ImageShack, of to a similar free image hosting server like Photobucket, or to your own server provided by your hosting service if you have one.

2.) Substitute the Host Icon and one of the "Viral Icons" in the matrix with your ALT text of choice and your blog’s URL. Maximum of 3 specific keywords for the ALT text are best for it to be effective. You can do this by going over to the HTML mode of your blogging platform. Don't be confused! You're doing the same as our first Viral Links system, but this time you're just doing it with image icons. Just follow the code and add the URL that points to your blog, and your image. Real simple!

3.) When you get a ping back from someone that has your icon in one of their "Viral Icons" matrix, practice good karma by copying his/her Host Icon's code (automatically the associated ALT tag will also be copied) and paste it over one of your “Viral Icons” below.

People always ask me "How do I get a ping?" That's just a fancy way of knowing that someone linked you up. To find out who has linked to your blog, it's best to get a Technorati account. Technorati will tell you who has been linking to your blog, and from there you could easily update your Viral Links, and Viral Icons matrix.

4.) Invite your readers to do the same and soon this can grow virally.
