Hey everyone.

I was wondering recently about the pros and cons of digging/social bookmarking your own blog posts. What is your opinion on it?

When I first started my site I would digg my own articles, but I've realized now that the benefit of doing this is extremely limited since I don't have any friends on Digg and usually only get 1 extra digg along with my own. The only benefit it seems to digging my own articles is so I have a link from Digg (which should help my pagerank).

On the flip side, it seems like if I don't digg my own articles I end up not having many of my articles dugg, yet I'm more likely to reach the front page of Digg/Social networking sites if I let someone else bookmark my posts.

I'm still looking into this issue, so I'd love to hear what you guys think about digging/bookmarking your own posts.
