A site called User/Submitter offers 50 cents for digging a set of 5 posts on digg.com. All you have to do is register at usersubmitter.com with your digg users ID and they will send you the list of post’s to be dug. What is this site getting by paying 50 cents for every digg set? That’s a logical question, let me answer that. Here is how exactly User/Submitter is able to pay its users, if you run a website which has articles on it, to drive traffic to the site you pay User/Submitter a base amount of $20 and $1 per each digg. Digg.com flashes your post on its front page only if the post has been dug at least 51 times within 24 hours. A post on the front page of the digg.com can drives 10,000 to 15,000 users to the site which roughly translates to $400-$500 Adsense dollars. So by paying $71 ( $20 base + $51 for each digg) getting a huge amount of traffic which eventually means hard cash is not a bad deal at all.

Digg.com needs to come up with another algorithm to stop people from exploiting its services. Are we ready for Web 2.0 as yet?

It’s the technology age, which means without moving from your place you can earn a fortune if you know How to! On internet the formula to earn money is extremely simple, Users/Traffic = Money. For thousands of sites Digg is the only source of thousands of unique visitors which eventually converts to Adsense dollars or any other Pay Per Click service.

In order to get traffic to the site, your digg post should be either on the first page or reasonable popular. There is no shortcut to the top, a post can be popular only if it has enough people digging it. Digg brings the post on to the first page only if the post manages to gain 51 diggs in 24 hours.

People register multiple accounts or take advantage of the social networking and form large groups and digg each others post and bring it to the top.

Digg has started fighting the rapidly growing techniques to manipulate the sites natural flow. One of the things Digg has been doing lately; it is terminating suspected users involved in any kind of manipulations. I do not know how effective this technique of terminating user accounts but I certainly hope it is controlled before people loose faith in Diggs original concept.

I only talked about few ways people try to make money by driving traffic to their own site. My next article is about how to make money by digging for posts on Digg.com. Stay Tuned!
