Everyone knows that if they want to get their blog/website visible and well-known by people, then social bookmarking via Digg website is must.

What if nobody visits your website? What would be the value of your web site?  If you have fewer visitors it means you have a very bad traffic, and obviously if you don’t have any traffic your website will not give you any benefit.

Every webmaster has a common target to achieve a high Page Rank (Aka PR) and to top the search engines. Many webmasters spend huge bucks on those pricey marketing strategies and buy links to get high PR links. Buying links could increase your PR but, it cannot give you a large amount of visitors.

How to Digg?

Digging is very easy, just log into your digg account, submit your each story to digg and try to select an exact category for your story. Once you’re done with the submission of the story it will get display on most recent story page.

To get your story on the front page of Digg, you need some digg’s i.e. a number which increase when some digg users suggest your story. You will get more visibility on digg, if you have more digg points. If someone who already have digg many stories, and that person is one of the top digg users, he digg your story then you will be directory gone into his digg list. And then you will have a backlink from high PR page, because your story will be more visible on digg pages.

Story content is the most important thing you should work on. Just think of before posting, why viewers would like to digg your story? Hence, you should add some interesting content and effective keywords in your article which attracts a user to dugg your story.

Dugg from your website

Add a Digg it button in the end of your articles once they have been submitted to digg.com. The reason to add the digg it button at the end of the article is because most people put the digg it button on the top of article which is not very much useful as readers will always dugg after reading the content. So the button should be inserting on the right place at the end of article.

Once you received about 10 dugg’s from the top 100 digg users, you will receive some good traffic from digg website. Also, you can follow these useful Digg tips.

• Always remember friends are the key. To expose your story faster add at least 20 friends on Digg
• Request your friends to digg your posts and do the same for them in return.
• Once you get to the front page about 20 times, it gets easy to attract the users towards your story.
• So your aim should be the top most diggers who posts and digg’s a lot.
• Create attractive titles like why, how, etc. Example: “Why Linux is the best OS”, “Top 20 reasons why Linux is the best Operating System”, “How to tweak Linux”
• Be careful with digg as many blogs are banned
• Don’t waste you time on digg groups as they are not much effective

Into the Internet & web hosting world, one word that you will always get to hear a lot of time is IP Addresses. Shared and Static are the two basic IP addresses which are normally used in hosting. To understand the difference between both the IP addresses you need to know the meaning of IP.

Whenever, you insert a website name in your browser – (www.example.com) that name is translated into some numbers (known as an IP address) and then the computer is headed towards that IP address which is the web site. All the web sites on the internet are established not by its domain name but by its IP address. IP addresses are in the format similar to 192.168.0.48, four discreet blocks separated by periods. You can reach a site by typing in the IP address alone and that will take you directly to the site.

For Ex: www.google.com resolves (turns into) 209.85.129.99. So if you type in 209.85.129.99 directly into your browsers address bar you will be redirected to the home page of this site.

Every web site on internet has an IP address provided to it. For example, every single website on this server does not use different IP addresses. If every site used a different IP address there could potentially be a problem with running out of IP addresses. (Fortunately this is not a problem and is going to be resolved when a new IP address standard is fully adopted).

There are so many sites that runs on one IP address on a server. For example: joeswebsite.com and maryswebsite.com both sites are using the same IP address. Using more than one IP address frees up IP address which are a limited resource. Basically what happens is that when joeswebsite.com is resolved into the IP address, the person looking for joeswebsite.com arrives at the server; the server then realizes that the person is looking for joeswebsite.com and sends that page to the person requesting it. The server basically steps in and does a millisecond of work and saves an IP address.

The use of multiple sites on an IP address is known as Sharing IP’s or a Shared IP address. A particular site having its own IP address, and doesn’t share with any site, it is know as Static IP address. You can always reach a site which has a static IP address by using its IP address alone, but you can’t reach a site using a shared IP address by typing in the IP address alone because when you type in a shared IP address you arrive at the server but the server doesn’t know which site you want because you haven’t told it which domain name you want. So looking at our example above, we typed in 209.85.129.99 and aimed at www.google.com, we know that only www.google.com uses this address as we can get to site without typing in a domain name and thus it must be a static IP address. However, do you know why you need a static IP address?

The main reason for having a static IP address is that you can use SSL encryption Certificate (the thing that makes e-commerce happen) only on a static IP address. In order for a person to transfer sensitive data over the internet at times, this data must be encrypted to prevent someone from intercepting the information. You can only use this encryption (called SSL Certificate) when the web site has its own IP address (static IP). It doesn’t work on a shared IP. So when a website takes in order with a person’s credit card it needs to encrypt this data and it uses SSL with its static IP.

Another cause for having a static IP address is that if a web site wishes to have anonymous ftp transfers (basically where anyone can download files off a site) the site needs to have a static IP address to handle the anonymous ftp transfer. Besides these two causes you don’t need to have your own IP address for a web site.

Hence, while choosing an IP address for your website doesn’t forget to consider these points.
