[...] And yet the effort was made within the digg community to disallow any stories from Online Marketing Blog from being submitted to digg with no chance of a human evaluation of the situation or process of reinclusion. digg has taken a DMOZ style persona in handling such matters with the puzzling part being domain names can be banned as a result of actions that have nothing to do with the owner of the web site. At least Google and Yahoo are mature enough to have a review and reinclusion processes in place [...]

What surprises me about the whole Digg vs SEO issue is the blanket dislike. In one sense SEO’s are simply webmasters with a greater awareness of marketing possibilities online (crude, I know). But the actions of a few “seo spammers” shouldn’t blacklist SEO as a practice anymore than email spam should mean people reject using email.

Hi Lee,

Thanks for noticing my post and I am glad you are receiving so much support. I still don’t get how a sight like Digg can support such a tactic. It goes against everything they stand for at least from the perspective of a reader.

Also you should know your stuff is being ripped off by SEOCOIN.com unless thats an affiliated site you may want to chat with them.

Pete — often times its nothing that a URL does that gets it banned; quite often it is probably small cadre sof diggers who have a pre-existing prejudices against different things. People who don’t like blogs. People who don’t like SEO. People who find “web2.0″ design “annoying”. People who don’t like marketers.

If you’re looking for a way to make sure a URL isn’t banned, the only absolute way is to make sure its never submitted to Digg. I think as long as the banning and “spamming” process works the way it does, there will always be a risk that you will be offending someone even if your intentions are pure.

That is to say, even if your blog is about potatoes, and say, you did a post about “top 10 awesome things to do with Potatoes AFTER Xmas”, you might get buried NOT because people hate potatoes (who hates potatoes?), but because people don’t like blogs, they might view your submission as “spam”, or overly commercial etc etc.

Cheers

Yeah, not used a digg button on our blog to make it easy for “SEO” flavored stories to be submitted. digg users hate SEO.

I was shocked to hear about toprankblog’s banning. Is there anything specific that if you look back on you would have done differently in terms of your interaction with digg? I’m curious about the catalyst for banning so it can be avoided.
