Pay-per-Digg service exposed

Published in Blogging, Internet by Aditi Tuteja

digg.jpgA pay-for-votes service has been launched that allows publishers to promote their submissions on Digg.com.

This is presented as a site where Digg submitters pay for Digg users to promote their stories, and where Digg users make easy money.

Digg is a social book-marking service where users can submit stories and vote for content that they like. Submissions that garner enough interest are promoted to the service’s front page, which typically leads to a spike in traffic.

This UserSubmitter.com site offers Digg users 10 cents for every ‘digg’ they issue to listed stories. The publishers of those stories are then charged a base fee of $20 plus $1 per Digg. Neat Huh!

It is doubtful to me if this service is genuine or is a hoax, one can easily create an account and see a list of stories on which once can digg.

I dont know if there is a means to verify if such stories had recruited the services of User/Submitter or were just random links pulled from the Digg.com website.
