I’ve had W3Counter on the homepage of Digg 4 times now. Most recently, it passed 6000 diggs, and was featured on Diggnation. More than 50,000 uniques resulted directly from the homepage listing.

Most importantly, the Stumbleupon traffic resulting from that day has lasted more than a month now, with several hundred to low thousand uniques per day coming from there.

all the digg users are webmaster. They know what the ads is. So won’t click.

Have you seen an increase in backlinks, specifically backlinks that drive traffic? It might be interesting to track this for the next 15 days.

I have old posts on my blog that will recieve fresh links from high traffic sites over a year after they were originally published. The content link model certainly beats the heck out of getting a little link buried on page 3 of someone’s links page.

Thanks for sharing this. It really helps to give some perspective about what making it to page one of Digg can do for a site. What I’d want more than clicks on my ads from said Digg traffic is the establishing of a fair number of new regular visitors who pick up my RSS feed, etc. The clicks on ads is only a one day bonus. Long term repeat visitors is could result in more people routinely telling their friends about new articles I publish.
