Digg is a website at the forefront of social news promotion for technology-based articles. Users submit stories they find interesting to a continuously updated archive where others can comment or vote approvingly/disapprovingly. Articles with the most positive “diggs” are then promoted to the main page, and it is likely tens of thousands of people will then read it. Digg also features RSS and blogging capabilities for its user. To see a live stream of activity on Digg.com (articles submitted, promoted, demoted, and commented on), check out Digg Spy.

1) What is “important news” and can the internet public be relied on to “digg” it?

• Important news is news that is relevant to a specific community. Rather than having those editorial decisions made by a very limited number of people, digg lets the community decide. We believe in the wisdom of crowds. In that sense, digg helps people to sift through the “information overload” of the Web and the estimated one terabyte of new content that is added to the Web every day.

A good domain name is:

• Easy to say in person. It’s unwieldy to say “digit” before a number in aURL, or the word “dash” or “hyphen”; besides, people have a hard time finding the dash character on a keyboard.
• Easy to understand over the radio or on the phone. Words that include the ess and eff sounds are often confused when listening, as are certain consonant pairs like b/p, c/z, or d/t. If you’re selling in other countries, confusion between English consonants is different, such as b/v in Spanish or r/l in Japanese.
• Easy to spell. Using homonyms might be a clever way to get around a competitor who already owns a name you’d like to have; however, you’re just as apt to drive traffic to your competitor as to gain some for yourself. Also, try to avoid foreign words, words that are deliberately misspelled just because they are available (for example, valu rather than value), or words that are frequently misspelled

• CPC: Cost per click. The actual dollar value you pay. Some people reserve CPC for banners that charge by the click and PPC for sponsored ads on search engines.

• CPM: Cost per thousand impressions. Allows you to compare costs from one ad venue, or type, to another. If an ad costs $500 for 10,000 impressions, your CPM is $500 divided by 10, or $50. Because most PPC sites also provide the number of impressions, you can compute CPM for your PPC campaign.

• CTR: Click-through rate. The number of clicks divided by the number of impressions. Expect costs for a click-through to be higher than costs for an impression.
