Menekali  Just another IT Blog.

Recently, I was re-doing how my permalink structure worked on this blog. My original structure was: index.php/p=%postid. For various, somewhat obvious reasons I wanted this changed.

So I changed it to: index.php/post_title/ .  Right, so all worked well, I had my new permalink and directory structures all set up, good good. Now, I have a digg counter, and submitter in my post loop, for every one of my posts. After changing my permalink structure, I noticed, none of the my diggs were showing up! What?! Hmmmm

My most recent post (at the time) I simply dugg again. Went through the routine, submitted it (even though however my last post showed up on the duplicate list, only time that thing has EVER detected ANYTHING remotely close to what I was digging). Finalized my digg, and went back to my page. And reloaded.

What do I see? 6 diggs. That’s what I had before it cleared them out on here. But no more than literally 3-4 minutes later, I had 3 more diggs. Didn’t make much sense, they don’t come in that quick, unless I’ve just submitted it. And that’s what happened.

I effectively re-synched my post. I changed the url of my digg, so none of them showed up. However, once I went and submitted it again, all of my previous diggs for that post re-appeared, and the post was back up on top in the digg site.

Now this would’nt be a very effective way on a daily basis to try and get more diggs, how ever you like your traffic. It could though, help you if you have a message of particular interest to you, you’d like to see recieve more attention.
