Digg button just for diggers ?
For whoever might be interested, there is a nice wordpress plugin called aSocial Bookmarks. Since it’s in German, let me explain how it works now :
What it does is simple, but highly necessary : it displays the Digg button only to people who come from Digg.
Why is it good ?
First, because I have never seen it before. Usually, you have to integrate manually the Digg Button into single posts that have been dugg, or you have to display a Digg button with zero Digg on every post. That’s not good. Here, only visitors that come from Digg see the Digg button. It also works for 2 other German social bookmarking services that are unknown to me (Yigg,de and Webnews).
The second good thing is that it is very easy to set up : activate the plugin and add the following code into Single.php, just above the line with the_content()
<?php if (function_exists(’asocial’)) : ?>
<?php asocial(get_permalink());?>
<?php endif; ?>
Personally, I have stopped Digg baiting since usually it doesn’t work, and when it does, it breaks my site.
But some bloggers may find it useful.
Thanks to anwälte-in-vulkane-werfen.de, which can be Dugg here if you like to try it.
