If you have a new website to share, or wish to get updates and news out to the masses, then using websites that share information from third parties is a really easy way to get noticed. Websites such as Digg, Now Public and Reddit are all ways to highlight your own content.

To do this you simply head to the websites mentioned and follow prompts to create an account. Using Digg as an example, you simply sign up to their site which is free of charge and then take the URL or website address of the page or content you wish to publicize and "Digg it". This is a term that has been borrowed from popular culture; the phrase to dig it means to like something. You"re telling an open audience that you like the content. You can also ask family or friends to Digg your content. This way it will have a higher count and become one of the better listed options.

Alternatively you can add Digg source code to your pages. This means that any user to the site can click on the icon and "Digg" your page themselves. A combination of both the above options will give you the best chance of creating a high Digg rate. With this your article is listed on the website for visitors to see. Broken into categories, they can visit the suitable page and see a link to your article along with the number of users who like it.

It is basically giving you a way to get your content into more places, free of charge. Digg is a free service and it allows potential consumers to find information about your site or service using essentially unrelated website sources.
