Effectively promote the data analysis of Digg website of your website

Data | promotion

Now the digg.com site is not just a vibrant community and a place to gather news, Digg.com has become increasingly influential for bloggers and owners of websites. It can bring you a lot of traffic to generate revenue, but also make your site very popular. To illustrate the growing importance of digg.com, I analyzed some of the data from the Digg.com website and judged its main trends. So let's take a look at the data materials provided by the official digg.com and then turn our attention to the data provided by the unofficial Duggtrends website.
Active user Analysis

The top diggers on digg.com shows a group of highly influential Digg users. These top digger are more likely to enter the home page than the other users. Not surprisingly, Kevin Rose (the founder of Digg) was the top. He provided 119 of the 120 articles on the home page (his hit rate reached 99%)! Which is the only article that didn't go up, I would like to know?

If you sort by the "number of submissions", you'll find that quite a few of these top users have a high value of "popular Ratio" (Translator note: Popular Ratio refers to the proportion of articles you submit to the home page). The proportion of Albertpacino is 31% (2,570 articles have 800 on the home page), Bloodjunkie is 26%,GWJC 24%, Digitalgopher 36%, Dirtyfratboy is 37% and so on. These people have submitted more than 1000 articles. I'm not surprised by these numbers, because it's a community site after all. Therefore, it is more natural for friends to dig with each other.

Popular Blogs and web analytics

Digg users also have their favorite blogs and websites, and favored sites will be given greater attention than other sites. (EH..) My misfortune belongs to the latter). AppleInsider, for example, has had at least four pages of articles on the home page in the past week. Often, these popular web site updates will be quickly submitted to Digg users. But the problem is that some websites that publish excellent original articles are often overlooked, whereas those with high web sites are favored by many Digg users. I have made this point on the basis of my recent personal experience.

The day of the week is the most submitted article

A website called Duggtrends tracks other aspects of Digg data. According to Duggtrends's statistics, Sunday is the one day with the least amount of posts and Thursday is the most posted one day. It is clear that most Digg users log on to the site at the time of work (according to American Time). So Duggtrends estimated that the eastern time of the morning 9:00 is the best time to submit an article.

Home rate

Duggtrends the Wednesday and Thursday standards, the first page of the article in a week to account for the total amount of 15%-19%. However, those numbers on table 1 do not seem to be related to the lower "home rate" shown on table 4.

Classification

Duggtrends the 3rd version of Digg, the new classification was also analyzed. There is no doubt that the "Tech Industry News" (The tech industry press) dominates – 2,184 articles were submitted in a week. World News (International Press) occupies the second place with 1287 articles. But look at Duggtrends's evaluation of it:

"The chances of the first page of this kind of article are relatively small. Because most of the time, these articles will be pushed back in a few minutes by new articles. ”

In fact, this statistic shows that only 120 articles on the tech news class are on the home page (only 5.5% of the total number of articles in this category). Some time later, after the 3rd version is more mature, we may be able to see several other plates (except the tech version) will be developed accordingly. This, of course, is what Digg's management wants to see.

Comment 6:

We come to a theory: Digg users read the title and profile of the article, and some people join the discussion, and only a handful of people actually click on the link to the original.

(translator, so to the original website to bring the promotion effect to make a discount, right?) there seems to be a similar phenomenon in the tile.
