Digg Blimp Bomb

[JoshLowry]

We need to get the blimp on the front page of Digg.com

The Digg algorithm determines popularity. The amount of time and the number of diggs is very important.

At 11:45 Central I am going to create a new thread with the digg link.

This gives you 30 minutes to prepare for the digg blimp bomb. Post here to let me know you are ready to digg it. Off topic posts will be removed from this thread.

We have enough people on this forum, but be ready to send the link out to your digg friends. Make sure you have an account set up at www.digg.com (http://www.digg.com)

Ask a question if you don't understand the concept.

[Naraku]

[Patriot]

This should be a sticky. (bump)

[Natalie]

Great Idea!

[10thAmendmentMan]

I can do some mouse clicking for the blimp.

[trueg]

Aye, Aye captain.

Remember to shout out the link to all your digg friends. I will.:D

[Cleaner44]

[querty]

[Exarel]

Wouldn't it be better to just do the one that already exists (in my sig) ? or does it need to be a fresh one to have better chance?

[bulloncoins]

Man......i can digg it!:)

[KewlRonduderules]

I'm ready!

[Sakimoto]

Let's do it

[Cleaner44]

Wouldn't it be better to just do the one that already exists (in my sig) ? or does it need to be a fresh one to have better chance?

T-Minus 30 minutes and we all digg at the same time.

I am ready, will you be posting the exact link?

[coboman]

ready

It needs to be fresh. After 12hrs it has NO chance of getting on the front page. (But, I dugg yours anyway.)

[mpython77]

let's do it!

[Cleaner44]

I suggest that we digg all blimp stories while we are at it. There are lots

[querty]

How will you word it? Make it more like "Ron Paul grassroots are launching a blimp. Yes a BLIMP" and not "Please help us raise another 75 k before tomorrow for a Ron Paul Blimp"

[davegnyc]

What page are we digging?

[JoshLowry]

T minus 2 minutes.

[fletcher]

How will you word it? Make it more like "Ron Paul grassroots are launching a blimp. Yes a BLIMP" and not "Please help us raise another 75 k before tomorrow for a Ron Paul Blimp"

It's not grassroots. Lying won't help.

[querty]

It's not grassroots. Lying won't help.

Oh please. Drop this crap now, will you.

[Patriot]

It's not grassroots. Lying won't help.

How is it not grassroots? It is not being paid for by the RP08 campaign.

[10thAmendmentMan]

F5 F5 F5 F5 F5

Where's the link? :(

[bulloncoins]

It's not grassroots. Lying won't help.

I think with all the money we have put into it, it is fair to say it has a large grassroot support. Fair enough?

[trueg]

C'mon guys where is the link?

[coboman]

Ahhh! 11:47. WHERE IS THE LINK?

[Cleaner44]

Are we raising a group to inflate the blimp, it will take a lot of mouths?

[Marshall]

The suspense is killing me.

[trueg]

We should bomb digg again at 6 P.M. C.S.T I have a set of digg and reddit.com links ready (the one with the dutch newspaper)

[orabox]

;-)

[Marshall]

first dig!~

[10thAmendmentMan]

Digg it like a ditch!

/I got nothing.

By the by, could you edit your original post so that people just seeing this thread don't have to jump to the fourth page, Josh?

[tsopranos]

Fix the link you provided for the Blimp site...

It's showing up as http://ronpaulblimp.com/index.php///

[trueg]

you should start a new thread that is actually ON the blimp sub-forum.

Everyone shout this link out to all your digg buddies! I did!:D

[coboman]

Dugg #6.

@ JoshLowry, place the link in your first post, so that people entering the thread know where to digg.

[querty]

Yeah quick, fix the link!!

[Cleaner44]

We are at 27 already

[Cleaner44]

There is a coordinated effort to bury RP diggs

[bulloncoins]

I pasted the links and dugg it, but when I went into read it....nothing, blank screen.

[KewlRonduderules]

It's there!

Dugg!

[JoshLowry]

The link will only pull up the text.

It wouldn't let me submit http://www.ronpaulblimp.com or any variations so I had to get creative. :o

[Andrew-Austin]

Just joined Digg today, name is Clearfire18 there.

Its going up fast.

[KewlRonduderules]

looks like it is not on the up and coming section. There is a serious bury brigade out there. Keep digging folks!

:confused: Why?

[JoshLowry]

:confused: Why?

It has already been submitted before. They don't allow duplicates so it kind of stinks if the link doesn't catch on the first go around.

You can always do something like http://www.blahblahblah.com/thingy.php?=thisistoletmepostmylink

[Ben Elliott]

Wow, 64 digs in 22 minutes. This is rediculous. This is going to the front page.

[Exarel]

It needs to be fresh. After 12hrs it has NO chance of getting on the front page. (But, I dugg yours anyway.)


Oh ok, i'll take it off my sig then. Lets just make sure the digg title has a sense of urgency in it.

[KewlRonduderules]

Maybe. There is a bury brigade out there trying to derail our attempts.

Keep digging people

[10thAmendmentMan]

To quote another poster: "blump!"

dugg and ttt

[mkrfctr]

BURIED ALREADY - STOP DIGGING

That means submit a new submission and digg that new one - This one will never ever ever ever come back no matter how many votes

Also, stop posting them to RPF - either the burybrigade watches here - or the digg accounts of a lot of people on RPF are rated as spammer accounts and their activity on RP digg submissions automatically buries the submission - point being, you don't want the diggs from the people on RPF, all they do is bury the submission.
