kef..that would defeat the purpose of digg-whoring in the first place.I mean, if these poeple are going to go through the trouble of linking to their own stupid blog, and most likely creating multiple digg accounts to help get it on the front page, why would they not want to extra Google revenue from it?
Perhaps this problem could be partly solved on Digg's end? An idea I submitted to Digg a while back -- why not create AJAX Digg effect meters?For example, an AJAX Digg effect meter would appear next to each story title and would show the real-time responsiveness of a "dugg" site by sending very small periodic requests to the site and updating the meter via AJAX. This way Digg users could see how badly "dugg" a site is and choose to visit the site later if traffic is too high. This would help both Digg readers and site owners and allow the Digg community to effectively self-manage the Digg effect.<a class="user" href="http://brianmcnitt.com/wp/2006/03/16/digg-effect/">http://brianmcnitt.com/wp/2006/03/16/digg-effect/</a>

This guy. Submits his site to Digg a month ago, doesn't get dug to the front page. ( <a class="user" href="http://digg.com/music/Online_music_player">http://digg.com/music/Online_music_player</a> )Re-submits it to Digg a few days ago. It makes the front page. ( <a class="user" href="http://digg.com/music/Listen_to_music_at_work,_without_having_to_install_software_">http://digg.com/music/Listen_to_music_at_work,_without_having_to_install_software_</a> )Submits himself to Digg again documenting it. The blog post is of course on the same site (portableplaylist.com).
