digg or reddit?

two really good places for submitting links from your blog, website etc. but which one is the best?

well, you have to take certain things into account. like:

who are you aiming your blog at?
are you trying to monetise?
what topic is your post?

digg is a much easier site to navigate and post on, plus there is less tracking, meaning that spamming is much easier, which is great for hits. the navigation is easy, you can find what you want, where you want in a matter of seconds. but then again, i suppose you can on any posting website, right?
it's also got a facebook style 'wall' type system, to ensure that you can see all of the posts, and it's much easier to post on.

now, reddit. This site is much better for views, purely because if you know which forum to post it on, you'll have hundreds - if not thousands of hits within the hour. although, this site is much harder to navigate and to share your posts with other sites. for instance, if they think you're spamming, they'll basically block you and not have the decency to tell you. like i did, EVEN WHEN I WASNT SPAMMING! and if you keep putting stuff from the same link up, you'll get messages telling you to put other stuff up. Most people on this site are just advertising! i dont see the problem if the information is valid.

So, in my opinion.. choose digg. much easier to communicate with people, much easier to make your posts go viral and they're much easier on you - but if you want a site which will give you hundreds or thousands of hits in a matter of hours, choose reddit. the choice is yours.
