All the "traffic" and user submitted content is from people submitting untargeted spam to the site because you didn't nofollow your links.

That's why most of the traffic is direct traffic, that's why it isn't making any money even being a 167k Alexa site, and that's why all the submissions only have 1 vote. A truly active digg like site would have multiple votes on each submission to get to the front page. You are allowing spammers to get their links on your front page without any votes. And they are abusing it.

 

1) Any social bookmark will get some load of spam. However unlike others, this website also gets good quality articles and links.

2) I have kept dofollow by choice; its required to increase the popularity of the website (encourage more people to submit content).

 

OK. If by good quality articles you mean the 12 out of 16 links on your home page all going to the same site. Submitted by a bot with a bunch of different user names.

I'm just saying most of what you are trying to pass off as active users and traffic is bots abusing the site for dofollow links.

 

Hi,

There might be bots out there, but if a prospective buyer would like to get the Google Analytics details, I can surely provide data like Map Overlay and Visitor Country information (to prove that those are real people and not bots).

However I agree; there are spammers as well as with the case with any user generated content/bookmarking website.

As long as the links and articles that hit the mainpage are of good quality, I dont mind even if the website is the same.

~Thanks

 

You do realize that even bots have IP addresses right? And that IPs are used to determine visitor country information?

 

Thats right, but what exactly is your point here? The website has a Captcha System for signups to identify real people, but I am pretty much sure you would come back saying that "Do you know that bots can also break captcha too?"
