Bloggers and commercial sites love it when a story or news article winds up on the front page of Digg. But, their future success may become bittersweet as their Web servers may be overloaded from users flooding in from the voter driven content site.

For those of you who never visited, Digg is a website where users vote on stories, videos, articles, and other nuggets of Internet goodness. When an article picks up enough votes, it lands on the front page. This means millions of Digg users see those front page stories , as the rate of Digg users grows, can websites whose articles land on Digg’s front page handle the ever increasing amount of Digg user traffic? One company is saying that Digg’s success may actually become harmful to modest websites.

Many sites and blog have undergone the “DIGG EFFECT” where their traffic has Spiked up so much that many had to transfer their blogs to dedicated servers, this means a lots of costs and overheads and since the digg user are very veteran user of internet the click through rate of your affiliate and ads links are very less, as the digg user only browse through content and not your ads and affiliates unlike rookie surfers  and hence although you get lots of hits but that doesn’t necessarily convert into a lot of cash. Use digg wisely or else it can do more harm than good to your blog/site.
