Up Story - trying to collect all interesting!

While there is still an opportunity for leveraging social sites for linkbait, I see Digg as the one that is slipping away the quickest. Again, this is because it??™s the one that just about everyone focuses on, relies on, and even spams.

It understandable why Digg has gained so much attention. It by far offers the best return for your buck when it comes to linkbaiting. While other sites like Netscape, Reddit, and Delicious (to name a few) are still good to leverage, they don??™t quite have the bang that Digg does. But this doesn??™t mean they should be ignored, because there is still a lot of value in them.

By leveraging all the social news sites, you increase the chance of having a successful campaign overall. If you manage to go viral on these other sites and not Digg, then you will still be able to attract a lot of links. And if this is the case, then by no means is your campaign a failure. After all, success should be measured by links and not whether or not you make the Digg homepage.
