   1 The reason I don’t visit Digg is because it’s slowww. I can’t stand waiting for 30 seconds just for one page to load. Reply to this comment.

   2 the time my account was banned and my site banned, i never cared to register for one. There are some sources of traffic where in fact much better than digg as far as my site is concerned Reply to this comment.

   3 The problem with digg is they’ll ban you if you drive massive traffic. But still it is difficult to know how some people are getting 900+ diggs in 9 hrs. Reply to this comment.

   4 @Jack: It is not too difficult to get mass diggs to any given site. There are many tactics which can be utilized. If you do not have a site which generates 10k/day visits, then what you have to focus on is getting a network of friends on digg. I did an experiment with this on my friends account. I spent a week or two adding as many people as I could, digging their stuff (switching between users to be careful), leaving comments (etc) and making people feel important. I managed to post something which I thought was beneficial and most Digg users would have enjoyed and it got about 100-120 within the first few hours. —- Generally, Digg has problems. Every site has some problems. I personally hate Digg’s ban first then figure out the rest later. Oh well though. I don’t think I’d be able to survive without Digg. Too many digg effects to give up now. hehe. Reply to this comment.

   5 The effort for dig vs what your trying to achive is quite high curve.. People come in and then go out. Lots of views no clicks. Reply to this comment.

   6 I have to agree with chris07 here… people who browse Digg do it to find information, or watch funny videos, and NOT to find neat blogs, or support blog owners by clicking ads. Reply to this comment.

   7 we can achieve digg frontpage by buying a dugg to some sites. Crappy contents can be promoted to the frontpage. Why? they need traffic. That as soon as you reach frontpage, you gain others visits. Reply to this comment.

   9 if you are going into news, the best thing is to go into a niche site, like techno for techcrunch, gizmodo and others. Reply to this comment.

    10 Overall, I don’t think Digg is in trouble. It is such a popular site, and I suspect it will stay that way for a long time to come. It’s popularity in the blogosphere however, is dwindling. Reply to this comment.

    11 now that I come back to this, I think that digg might be in a little bit of trouble, just because you really have to work on digg to make yourself popular, you can submit an awesome story, but if you dont have any friends it wont be dugg, while a person can just submit something stupid that gets dugg because he has a million and one friends watching his every move Reply to this comment.
