Digg is somewhere betweeen CollegeHumor (which gets more) and Boing Boing (which gets less). Something around 5,000 – 15,000 depending on the story/ how long it's on the front-page etc.

there is another perspective on how digg operates

"66% of all stories posted on digg that make it to the homepage and pushed there by the same 60 people. Digg is essentially a community of 60 unpaid editors"

It is interesting that many startups and blogs have been helped by these contributions

Look at the difference in that one day for the above site:

My experience with DIGG is back in December when I hit the front page two times and saw just over 15,000 visits both times. Given all the press, I gotta believe DIGG's overall traffic has increased ... but am not sure if this results in increased traffic to the "target" websites as they have more stuff up on DIGG now ... and I bet it churns quicker.

Even if you were a site that hit the front page of DIGG several times of month (anybody know of one?!? ;-), there would be variance in the inbound data by day of week, time of day, how interesting the topic is, and how long it was on the front page ... but it might be possible to infer some trends on their traffic.

This one is phenominal – he will soon be up to 100,000 visits just by posting Youtube links on Digg
