Has anyone had their blog banned from digg. We get on here and ask for our articles to be read and dugg. No one is forcing another to do these diggs. I have at link 30 diggs of my blog and 1-2 diggs per all 9 of my articles, over a course of a month. It that reasonable? when I try to submit my blog with an article i get a "overwhelming spam complaint of the site" message. Do you think some is messing with my site because it is very low profile and i don't see how anyone can complain about something like that, just bury the article. How do individual digg items effect another person to a point to report it as span, just don't read it or bury it. I am confused...any insight anybody?
Well give us the url of one of your articles, and we'll tell you whether it's excessively "spammy" or not
Setup a redirect or post to another blog referencing your original blog or use one of the many many redirect and url shrinking sites. They are not very sophisticated.
If digg finds you asking for diggs on DP then they will just ban your account and your site so just don't do it. Its not hard for them to look through all the threads on here and check the referrer logs.......... They have been banning people from DP for over a year now and people still keep doing it.
Actually, banned sites got unbanned a few months ago, but everything submitted from those sites gets buried when the story gets its first bury.
I got banned from digg a few days ago, even though I didn't post active links on the forum (removed the www. part so it wasn't a clickable link). Nevermind lesson learned....
mee too. bad bob we both was digging excessively so this happened are you going to join it again me i will now stick to StumbleUpon. It is better and drive more traffic
I got mine banned but don't really care. I never asked for any diggs and the only thing I ever used it for was helping DP members. I didn't really find much benefit of digg because it is full of crappy stuff. I prefer stumble; as Gursimran said, I get more traffic and they also have less restrictions to trading.
Thats an interesting thought allout, is there really much of a benefit? I heard that after you hit the front page just once your site will start getting thousands of hits. But getting there is an entirely different thing than sustaining the traffic so like if one article that hits the front page was totaly out of the blue with keeping with your theme of your site and you don't change your site it's hard to maintain the traffic that you just got from digg.
Don't worry, Stumble will be banning sites next. I really wouldn't mess with Ebay. They didn't buy Stumble to have a bunch of "Click Gangs" exploit a weakness in the system and manipulate results.
but at what point, like you have to be on the upcoming story charts for a long period of time because it goes fast.
so you need a rush of diggs when the article is fresh, cool. Are their times when an article can make a front page comeback or does that trigger bells and whistles indicating click fraud?
