Although I would like to go in detail on what Digg is, it would be a waste of time. If you managed to find this blog and are reading this article, I am almost 100% positive you know all about Digg and it’s status in todays social media scene. Digg is one of those services that with growth seems to get criticized the most. Some users and webmasters sit and wonder why there content never make it to the frontpage whereas others experience the “Server Crashing Traffic” day after day. On this post you will find 25 sites that get dugg the most and would be of no surprise if you saw them on Digg frontpage couple of times a day.

Also if you are trying to build your digg profile and trying to boost that “popular ratio,” try submitting content from these sites. You are bound to hit the frontpage much sooner than what it would otherwise be. Please do remember though that these sites do not get dugg the most for no reason, these blogs/sites are some of the best out there that provide exceptional content and breaking news day after day.

Enjoy!
