Cameron Olthius recently posted about the rise of “made for digg” sites, a phrase coined by Ethan Kaplan, who points out Knuttz as an example. Alister Cameron looked into the Knuttz site and gives a breakdown of how this site funnels visitors in such a way to encourage digg votes.
Knuttz is basically a blog that shows clever photographs and interestingly enough, has had 14 stories hit the front page of digg in about the past two weeks.
Alister speculates whether Knuttz might be gaming digg or not and makes some interesting observations. Knuttz creates a “digg funnel” by adding a solicitation from each photo detail page to a specific page which has the familiar digg vote badge on it.
