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

thanks for sharing this, it is a great help.
http://erieideas.com is a good example of a localized pligg site. Used for the citizens of a small city to come together and share and discuss ideas. The monthly results are emailed to all their local politicians and media stations.
Nice writeup on Pligg. I just started using them for my site – focused on news for IT professionals.
And none of this is meant to discourage you from starting a Pligg site of your own. I just want to start a conversation about some of the challenges
