Digg is a social news website that can help you share blog posts and web pages. If you find a page you want to share, you can "digg" it by submitting the URL and a brief description of the page through the Digg website. Other Digg users will see your submission and "digg" or "bury" it. Submissions that get a log of "diggs" are displayed on the home page of the Digg website where many people will see them and will be likely to click on them.

In short, if your blog post makes it to the home page of Digg, you can expect a huge bump in traffic. Since most bloggers want more traffic, hitting it big with a post that gets featured on the home page of Digg is like winning the lottery. Unfortunately, making it to the home page of Digg is difficult.
