Late News For The Week. It's Official - Digg Is For Sale
I know that this is pretty old news but I just read that Digg is for sale for $300 million dollars.
"A reliable source just confirmed the company’s plans, noting the company has hired Allen & Company, a tiny but influential private investment firm, to help broker a deal. The asking price is still $300 million, the source said." Wow, $300 million. I wonder if they'll take a check?
"When asked about a potential sale, Digg founder Kevin Rose said that “we never comment on things related to acquisitions.”
Awww shucks, can't he give us a little something?
All I know is that I have way better luck with traffic from Stumbleupon. Digg has never really generated anything substantial. With any social media, the big challenge is converting that traffic into RSS subscribers or ad clickers, what ever your goal is. I have had moderate luck getting RSS conversions from SU traffic. However this month I have increased my RSS subs by about 70 so far but that was due primarily to the contest which ends on the 4th. And because it is going so well I am going to give an un-announced bonus when the winner is drawn.
I am curious, what social media is your biggest generator of traffic?

StunbleUpon here too. Reddit's good for a trickle now and then and I've been featured a few times on Notcot.org which dumps tons of traffic for a few weeks straight.
Same here, Stumble drives 90% of the traffic for me from all the 'social' sites. One thing I hate about Digg is what a pain in the ass to find the right catagory to put the post in.
I can't get Digg to even work for me. I try to Digg posts, but it keeps telling me to log in, which I am logged in, since they have my name across the top, lol. I won't even try them anymore.
I don't really get a lot of traffic from BlogRush, either, that has to be the lamest system so far.
Google search engine is my biggest outside source of visitors. Which bugs me to no end.
@Qtpies - Yep, blog rush pretty much sucks for me too. That was a HUGE waste of time to even put the widget on the site.
StumbleUpon is much better for me than DIGG. In my mind, DIGG has always sucked. I'm not usually negative about stuff, but to me, DIGG is all about hyping up the same stuff everyone is talking about. StumbleUpon lets me find the little diamonds in the rough without too much work.
I'm also getting good traffic from EntreCard and BloggingZoom. I'm stopped using BlogRush as well.
I haven't tried out blogging zoom yet. May have to look into that.
