I would steer very clear of this one. All you seasoned veterans out there know who is behind "digg". And just like a few said here, once the DP moniker is sniffed out; the ban will be next. Careful.
I think this kind of services should be avoided. Will only get you and bunch of other people banned. Aside from discrediting digg. A story of mine got to the first page with 30 diggs, I dont know of any story with more than 200 diggs that didn't get to the first page.
I appreciate the posts Great food for thought but a lot of contradictions. I have seen many DP posts asking for Diggs and StumbleUpons and none of the posters seemed to have been banned..... Next using a 3rd party service which is in no way linked to DP, or Digg would be hard to detect. The paid Diggers do not go through the 3rd party site to Digg that I can see. So how would anyone catch them? I dont see the thought police running around too much...
This guys story would indicate the site *may* be run by digg to catch out people who are trying to rig digg.
The only problem with that though is the site charges for the service (ethics) and also would formulate a case for entrapment (legal) if Digg was doing this. I doubt they would set themselves up for those issues...
Why would there be a case for entrapment? All they are doing is banning the accounts of people who try to artificially manipulate their systems. Also they could give the money to charity or something.
Because it is enducing someone to do something they normally would not. Digg has no legal ramifications to do something like that (They are not the police) And no matter what the guise they cannot take your money for such and then give it to anyone with the idea that one paid for a service which might go against the TOS. This would be also known then as Theft By Deception. Again this is a corporation whom if caught setting people up for something that is not illegal... would face serious backlash... That is almost on the same thought process that Google uses blogger to catch Adsense spammers.... not going to happen.
I don't know what flagged mean. I know none of the diggers was a high profile one. It really depends on the time it was submitted and the number of other good stories around the same timeframe.
I didnt say anything about unique content. Your website just some ugly niche made for adsense website thats not going to get anywhere on digg. It looks like it has been already removed.
Hmmm well ugly is in the eye of the beholder.. It is a new site and Adsense was added to it after some thinking. I am not so sure nanotechnology is the best niche to publish in. However I am enraptured with the thoughts of the science and will grow this site out so that it too hits Googles front page top 5 results. From there then its on to better forms of earning revenues... Thanks for the inspiration.....I love critics PS thats a nice linkspamfarm link you have there
But it was so fun ......damn it always cut short ...it's just not fair.. The sites still a canvas... thanks
I wonder if Digg has setup sites like this to catch fake diggers? Seems like a good strategy on their part ...
Why aren't people saying the URL? I saw one guy edit his post because he was "scared" and the topic starter never said it. Doing a search on Google, I found it. http://www.usersubmitter.com/ Happy?
Had you read... I said I did not give the URL as I did not want to vouch for a service I had not used. Proud of yourself? Which would you like a medal or a chest to pin it to???
I have a chest, it has my heart and some other organs in it, and a purple heart as a medal. However, I would like another one! By the way, the purple heart ain't mine, it's from WWII.
