I don’t mean that diggers don’t like blogs this way. I’m familiar with this feature on Digg, but I mean that I have very often seen comments that clearly told that “this is a blog and I don’t want to see it on digg” (something like this, I can’t recall the exact place and time). I just think that many diggers think of a potential promotional campaign of a site when they see a blog. I hope I made myself clear! But anyway: nice guideline!

So further content could be used to drive subscriptions, as long as it’s exclusive to rss or newsletter subscribers. That makes sense, thanks

@buzzdroid, in this context I do regard for myself a subscriber as a conversion. Subscribers are your long-term value plan

@Andrew, anything with perceived value to the reader eg. audio, video, members-only forum, archive, exclusive content, money-off voucher, consulting, a secret, newsletter, …

What *are* some other alternatives? I’ve been thinking about this and so far have just come up with contests and free stuff as incentives go.

Is a coversion an adsense click? Forget it. Digg users do not click. Plain and simple. You are much more likely to get clicks from less scrupulous readers that find your blog via traditional methods.

Is a comment on your post a conversion to you? Again, not likely with Digg users, most tend to comment back at Digg, that’s where they are most comfortable and have control within their own community.

Is a conversion a subscriber? You might impress a digg user enough to subscribe as this is actually the least offensive and least labor intensive actions of the choices. This is indicative of the number of clicks received on your feed icon in the above example.

All in all, Digg is hype.

Diggers digg some blogs, but don’t digg others and mark them as spam.
