1) You need friends. Unless you are a respected Digg member, you can post a Pulitzer Prize winning piece, but without a few friends to Digg it with you to get it noticed, it will soon fall to the "under 10 Diggs hell" and lost forever.
2) Appealing to the 20-something crowd works, but it is no longer the only way to get Dugg.
3) Sex, drugs, and video games are not topics that will get Dugg easily anymore.
4) Humor works, but it has to be really funny.
5) You need friends. A video of an alien abduction will get buried if you don't get a boost of people to push it into the spotlight. Not a lot -- 5-15 friends are enough to get it noticed by the casual and hardcore diggers.
6) You must be FAST with national news. Constant, diligent monitoring of feeds is the only way to scoop a story.
7) Sometimes, scooping is not enough. You can Digg a story first, but if a "power-digger" posts the same story a few minutes later (and ignores the duplicate check), yours will get a few diggs, but not enough to make it.
8) Unknown blogs need a power-digger to get them popular.
9) Digging stories directly from other social sites is taboo. Digg it from the source.
10) You need friends. An story written by J.D. Salinger will get buried if you aren't respected and don't have friends.

The other technique is to pay for it. Contact someone who's stories always go Popular and offer them a hefty fee to submit your story or video for you.
