Actually I have heard a lot of good things about Fresh Egg, but they write a painfully boring blog.

It&#8217;s sloppy and announces to the world you do not have an understanding of such sites. Diggers are not going to digg an seo company without good reason. I&#8217;m not saying it wont ever happen, but you have to give them a damn juicy bone to distract them from the fact you simply want to game their system.<\/p>\n<p>Not only seo types make this mistake, putting the &#8220;digg this&#8221; button on your site is usually not going to do much. Those who are fans of digg are already going to have a firefox loaded to the brim with digg weaponry that they only have to exhale to make a web page explode into the area of digg.<\/p>\n<p>You may have fans who want to vote for you, but getting the same people voting for your stuff is hardly going to tickle diggs happy spot.<\/p>\n<p>You could try one of those, nicely blended, sophisticated, text only buttons which nicely blend into your design, which no one really notices or even uses.<\/p>\n<p>Saying all that, I did click a &#8220;digg this&#8221; button today, but only because I was too lazy to right click, but as I would have if there wasn&#8217;t a &#8220;digg this&#8221; button.
