    I was wondering that if digg post URL submission will increase my Backlinks or not.

    Is Commenting on Digg URL also create backlinks for a site?

    Sorry if this is a really funny and easy question :eek:

    I checked the inbound link from Digg to my site using HubSpot and it shows that the new Digg relationship dc:source (unlike the old rel="nofollow") does get SEO credit.

    More info on rel=dc:source at:

    dc:source, "A related resource from which the described resource is derived."

    Yeah you will get a backlink, however Digg has recently changed to nofollow, so you wont get any PR juice, however Digg is a good backlink to have.

    its sad to see digg has made its links nofollow or else it was quite useful to get a decent pagerank!!!
