tic … toc … tic … toc heh

We all know what happened. A digitalpoint member has started a thread promoting his new site. A digg ring where members would help each others get onto the frontpage of Digg. The thread itself got picked up by digg, and as a result 1,000s of members were banned (including me).
Now digg has commented on fraud. Are you interested in reading it? No? Oh well, here it is.

As you can imagine with over 250,000 registered users (and adding thousands more per week) we are constantly monitoring and looking for user SPAM/fraud.

Needless to say, you don’t want to flash your ring like that.

But something else I’ve seen was the new Integrating Digg within your website entry.
You can use this java script to add a digg button to your site.

Hope that helps

in your wordpress blogroll. Give a link to a good site, exchange links with friends … use that blogroll to add Business Blogs to is and then submit there if you like

Just read some comments here. Makes me wonder if we should even pay attention to all of the copycat contests. Sure, you make money if you win ( if you win), but should we really jump up and down everytime some company throws some money out there to buy free links?

Feel free to discuss this subject in the Ambatchdotcom Seocontest thread on my forum.

I’ve just come across SiteSell’s Affiliate Marketing Tools and Information page and think there is some great info, especially for new affiliates.

Thought I’d share And if you want to sign up with their affiliate program, please do so using my link

In December of last year I’ve reported it here and apparently it’s still going on:

Blogspot, Google’s free hosting for blogger blogs deletes blogs for reasons such as excessive interlinking. Blogspot has been a magnet for spam ever since it got launched. Countless webmasters are using it to gain search engine rankings, build up content and PR, and link to other sites from it.

Know of any? Add them here (free listings available)

I need some funny blogs to review, so if you know of any which just cracked you up, please post them here.

Thanks

Just something I’ve come across. One of my clients is successfully using it. So go ahead and check it out if you like .

Or does it?
