True, Digg has a large slice of web traffic. As a fact, to land on the front page will drive an overwhelming deluge of visitors to your web site or blog. But getting there is incredibly hard.

On the contrary, landing on the front page of a smaller yet suitable niche site is easier and quicker. Additionally, you get better results as regards time and traffic. All of these in just a short span of time.

Why is this so? Here are 7 great reasons behind the fact:

1. Digg has a very intimidating user base while niche sites have interactive neighborhood.
2. Digg has very broad audience.
3. The categories of Digg are just as broad.
4. The great volume of articles leaves your work unnoticed.
5. Most diggers are hooked in promoting themselves as "power users."
6. Digg is not that transparent.
7. To boost visibility and effectiveness on Digg, you will certainly need a lot of time to do tweaking, research, and more.

I think these are the reasons why you have to put niche sites on your set of trusted strategies.
