Lucky Hit 24

Social media is all the rage and is only going to see continued growth…even seeing massive growth with some of the very top biggest sites

A lot of these website that are having the very highest growth levels were the ones earliest in with the exception of Facebook which came out a few years after MySpace.

But the likely game changer is two new software programs:

 

1. Google Friend Connect
   
2. Facebook Connect

You can click on those links for articles with killer training info to use them in your social media marketing campaigns for your websites.

The basic thing they provide is ability to carry your friends across multiple platforms easily. You can simply and quickly invite your social profile friends over from these sites into your own wholly owned domain. All they have to do is accept your invite and they’re in. Imagine the growth possibilities for your website…

Digg is now working to make live Facebook Connect at the earliest time meaning you can bring all your Facebook friends over into Digg.

Of course, they’ll have to accept your invite to digg and digg and comment on your stories to help you.

The power of this should be easy to see.

I have over 3000 Facebook friends in my profile.

If you know anything about Digg they’ve made profound changes to enhance their algorithm code and how stories reach their front page.

Getting to the front page of Digg is a major victory and can send an absolute volcano of visitors to your website. It’s even got its own term called the “Digg effect” which happens when the tidal wave of visitors crashes your website servers.

Basically, Digg has revamped their site attempting to make it more democratic and give everybody fairly equal chance of getting to the front page.

About four to five months ago it would take 150 to 300 Digg’s to even have a chance at getting on the home page.

Now I’ve seen some stories with as little as 76 Diggs get to the very top of the home page. And this social media news site gets over 25 million visitors each month and has over 27 million registered users in its database.

Of course, there’s no guarantee as to how active all these users are. I’m sure the 80/20 rule applies.

Accounting for that means 5,400,000 hyper active users coming to the site every day.

Even though stories only last on Digg’s Main page for usually a little under two hours because of the turnover rate and high site usage I still talk to people who have gotten over 100,000 visitors from achieving this lofty homepage status.

Now picture all your pre-existing friends and how close you could be to the 100-150 Diggs you need for homepage status by bringing over all your Facebook friends or your Google Friends.

Chew on that for awhile.
