Getting on the front page of Digg is a huge accomplishment for any web marketer to get yourself on the front page.

But this web marketer and SEO has done that: Here’s the link on digg
See us on the front page of Digg’s political

This is obviously a screen capture of two days ago, but we’re still on the top page of Digg’s Political page (look for “US President”)
It’s truly a first for my and many of my friends that have been doing this for a while.

How well did we do. How’s 17,000 unique visitors the first page, and 41,000 on the next day. (the our stats)

Did we get rich because of it (well we did have ads on it)… Well… Let’s just say I can pay my cell phone bill with it, but not my car this month with it.

How did we do it?

• Well first it was a great idea.
• Great design (looks good, but more importantly was easy to see, everything important was above the fold)
• Advertisement is PART of the design (not an afterthough)
• Posted it on digg in the morning (although it didn’t really blow up until after 6pm)
• The Title on the Digg article had the word “DIGG”, and included the word “Ron Paul” and other keywords that are often searched on digg for.
• Blind luck (this may have been the best advice

Now let’s see if we can do this again!?!?!

Any great ideas?
