The effect of Digg style sites on link building, SEO, and driving traffic has helped fuel the social media marketing movement. But did you know there is much more to social media marketing than just listings on Digg, Netscape and StumbleUpon?
Pligg is an open source program which powers a lot of the Digg style sites on the market and if you represent a niche business, chances are that there is a Pligg powered site perfect for your marketing campaign. Being that these sites are extremely focused, my professional opinion is that by participating in them you can attract more targeted traffic to your web site and listings may have a more powerful effect on future search rankings; especially in vertical and longtail results.
For example, in Search Engine Journal’s case, 100 Sphinn visitors could be much more powerful than 5,000 Digg users as Sphinn members are search engine marketers, tuned into the search world, and highly receptive to our material and sponsorship messages.
Some of my favorite targeted Pligg sites are:
- Hugg.com : Digg for Environmentalists
- Sk*rt : Digg for Women (Huge Traffic Builder)
- Sphinn : Digg for Search Marketers
- Deals.com : Digg for Coupons
- NewsHeat : Digg for Politics

I mean- All the best, All is well
The application is still on Rails 1.2.3 and it uses an older version of restful_authentication. So if you’re going to try this yourself, there might be some differences with the code snippets below… but I’m sure you’ll figure it out :-).
Digg like sites still have a powerful impact on internet marketing but it's true that targeted traffic brings in the profit. I've used Pligg sites for two auto dealers Dallas and the results were a lot better than before.
I stumbled upon this site when I’m looking for more authoritative pligg site. One that I can recommend is blogengage[dot]com. It’s paid pligg though now.
