Internet Marketing Tycoon

I have an "add to Digg.com" button on my forum among others, "furl", "del.icio.us", etc, just like WT. But now it seems that Digg banned my URL because people were adding my content. Has this happened to anyone else? I guess I'll have to just remove all of those image links to Digg and stick with furl and del.icio.us.

WT, be aware that you might get banned as well.

I did also, after the same user posted it twice

Seems like Digg is over reacting a bit to people's attempts to spam it.

**kline11** · 12-22-2006, 05:15 PM

Well I reacted as well and removed all of the Digg buttons from SearchBliss.

A lot of SEO sites throw up the error This URL has been reported by users and cannot be submitted at this time

**vangogh** · 12-22-2006, 10:20 PM

I think Digg is against any marketing related site or post since they assume it has to be gaming their system. Kind of silly and stupid on their part. Just means there will be a lot of quality posts and articles that end up on the sites of their competition instead of on Digg.

I understand not wanting to be spammed, but I think there would be a better way to do it. Ban the person doing the spamming, but not the article itself.

If you are thinking of using digg to promote your site don't cause if a few users digg your site they will ban it useless I'd like to see someone else bury digg permantly

Seems if you're site is related to seo or marketing in any way it offends diggers. Check Kim Krause Berg's post Sadly, Done With Digg and also check some of the links in her posts.

I think Digg may soon suffer a backlash from the seo community.

I thought one feature that made digg so special was the ability for users to bury a post. Why ban a site when the free market can make it irrelevant? I suppose articles like this entitled 'Google Says Use Digg for Link Building' with over 600 diggs do not help:

I think because of this, many more URL's will get banned.

Oh everyone who runs blog is using this technique but i think del.icio.us is some what showing its importance

I agree, and I think Digg is just shooting themselves in the foot.

**roy77** · 01-15-2007, 08:03 PM

this never happened to me and i hope that it will never will!

**kline11** · 05:24 PM

Well I've added this post to Digg yesterday.

Dig it and see if it can get on page 1 of Digg!
