I Digg, Digg, Digg, Then I'm Dugg In The Ground With No DIGG-Nity

How can you compete with the Top DIGGers to get your posts on the Front Page of DIGG?

Do you sell your soul? Go bankrupt buying DIGG points? Join the DIGG mafia? Beg the Top 100 for some DIGGS? Subscribe to a 1000 RSS feeds in every category available? Give up my BLOG submissions? Pay an Informant for News before the rest of the world gets it? Hook up a neural network between the News RSS feeds, my Brain and my computer? Buy a Stadium Pal, put tootpicks in my eyes and nail myself to my office chair?
You see, I'm a Newbie at this thing. I've submitted about 250 or so post and I can't seem to get even a couple Digss. I started by writing very original content from my Blogs with catchy titles, then I started to rapid-fire submissions of late breaking news. All to no avail - What am I to do!
So, I googled the DIGG tips, tricks, etc. to get to the front page.

They say to learn how to "game" (it's seems like cheating and it's got a dirty feel - kind of like a politican, or sports star or Blue Chip CEO). "They" say to have eye catching titles, to have original content, to DIGG others and they will DIGG you, to get 15 friends and DIGG each others stuff. To buy DIGGS (What!), and finally, some even say to go elsewhere.

I also discovered some believe this whole DIGG thing is a conspiracy - that it's controlled by the "DIGG mob". That if any of the top 50 DIGGers give a post a DIGG - it is almost certain to get to the Front Page. People talk about the algorithms employed, the number of DIGGS you need, the style of your story, that you should avoid BLOGs if you want to get the Front.

Well, since reading all this stuff I have decided to continue submitting. I have decided not to stop to the sneaky, sleaks tricks, and to not sell out - just to get to the front page. I'm going to keep it real and original and let my talents (or probably the lack there of) to decide my fate.
You know, I'm probably naive but I feel better now after venting. Sure, I DIGG, DIGG, DIGG but I will not be DUGG in the ground without DIGG-nity - nope.

Only 1 DIGG? Oh Well - maybe I am!
