@Matt Williams: I’m glad that you’ve raised this matter. I’ve been researching this topic, but unfortunately it’s not that easy to find info on how to make a site more accessible for disabled visitors. It’s a shame, because a site should be promoted to *all* potential visitors.

Well said, Matt. A lot of webmasters tend to just ignore their minority visitors, figuring that it is not worth the effort.

The myth that bugs me, and kind of relates to website promotion is “we don’t have any disabled visitors in our audience so we don’t need to make our website accessible”.

Nope, that’s the great thing. Google crawls Digg’s upcoming stories daily so all you need to do is get your article on that list by submitting it.

“I submit to Digg mostly for the benefit of getting all my articles indexed in a day.”

Since you’ve raised this matter, let me ask you a couple questions: is it enough to just submit your articles to Digg? Isn’t it necessary to get a good amount of votes to get said articles indexed by Google?

Exactly Karen. Digg traffic is notorious for not clicking on ads and not coming back. I submit to Digg mostly for the benefit of getting all my articles indexed in a day.

The sixth myth would be this: “Get your post in the front page of Digg and you’ll never run out of visitors (and money) again.”

Many people seem to be desperate to game Digg. They don’t realise that diggers aren’t likely to become loyal visitors, nor will they click on ads and make purchases.

“Share and Enjoy” is from the plugin called Sociable, which automatically adds those options to the end of every post. The Adsense I added myself inside of the single post template (I don’t copy-paste the code every time I make a new post).

Yep, expecting what “others” have accomplished is the wrong way to envision yourself. You should see what has made them successful, and use that for personal gain.

I have a question for you. Where it says share and enjoy are you typing this or is it a plugin? Your google ad is it the same way?
