You can't generalize the whole countries if you run into few stupid people

This is very very easy to achieve. No matter what result you want with the internet. If you need something to have a lot of hits to have it flagged and removed, or in this case "boast" it to the front page....all it takes it a few clicks and keystrokes and literally thousands of perched and waiting netsters are waiting to do your bidding...FOR FREE!

You just have to know HOW to get the word out to your waiting minions.

Isn't buying and selling diggs against Digg TOS ?
I saw an AD about digg promotion service.

Not sure if it's real.

Nothing new. User/Submitter started doing this probably a year ago. Wired did a cover story on it.

Hmmm...I already assumed *some* of the front page Digg stories were paid positions.

Doesn't matter to me.

Everything is marketing of some sort and we all market some piece of crap product nearly all the time ... whether it's our own image, a product for someone else, our product, a service, an idea, a concept, a belief, our abilities in bad after nine cheap beers ... marketing.

We're all Herb Tarlek.

Digg is no longer "new" marketing tool. Nowadays we have lots of sites like it, varying in popularity.

Those Indian contractors on scriptlance & getafreelancers always says they can give you the earth and sky for nothing, but it's hard to find someone that can accomplish anything the way you really want it..

I agree that most Digg members are smart enough to recognize when something isn't right. I seriously doubt this will accomplish what they're looking for.

I clicked on a Digg story this morning and the link was pure spam so I buried it.

Digg will be a new marketing tool.

I guess it's already kinda happening with Subvert and Profit and similar sites.

I think it happens more often that one would realise.

You can already do this very easily with Subvert and Profit which allows you to buy your way up Digg or Stumbleupon. The cool thing is you, the user, can help do this and make a DOLLAR for every click they ask you to click on--unethical, maybe, but, at least you get some money out of it. Sign up at http://tinyurl.com/yq27p6 and make a few extra bucks for clicking stories into the Digg front page.

I bet you those bidders are either from Pakistan or India. They claim to know everything!
