Many people do write good quality content but their audience does not match digg's userbase.

Even though digg is empty traffic it is traffic. when you have a high amount of traffic you can charge advertisers more money!

Think about that for a minute. A good digg front page story can generate 25K+ unique hits easily. Even as few as one a week can push your numbers over 100K uniques a month!

Most blogs I read are lucky to get 100 uniques a day.

Diggers may not click (or even see) ads but they do help inflate your bottom line numbers.

Dario, you don't need to write quality content to be successful. You only have to look at the tabloid press to understand that.

Content can be crap, it just has to be clever crap. Look at the circulation of the National Enquirer, the web is no different.

Why don't people spend their efforts in writing quality content instead of paying pay-per-digg fees?

Does that term exist? Can I copyright it? :P

I don't think they are that clever/devious but it would certainly work!

I'm begining to think some of these things are just scam sites being run by digg to weed out the users that are trying to make money off of their digging habbits.

I was about to chirp in and say that I saw Lyndon talking about a similar technique. It's an interesting idea though does seem like a lot of hard work where your time could probe be better spent just working on your site in other ways.

Interesting, I already talked about using such a technique on my blog. I called it SWITCHBAIT!

Diggers haven't become smarter.

One of the top Digg stories in the last 5 days was about the Top 10 April Fools Hoaxes of All Time.

That was an AFP story that appeared on 10,000 sites, including Yahoo.
The AFP story took the first 10 items listed in the Top 100 April Fools Hoaxes of all time on The Museum of Hoaxes site, and didn't even provide them with a direct link from the story they circulated.

Problem with these sites is that most people think they can pay $50 to get any article promoted to the front page. Digglets have become much smarter at sifting the real stories from the spam & as you mentioned without the quality it'll be a waste of money.

No one said Micheal coined the phrase, it's just the place I remember seeing it.

Hey! I coined the "auto-bury" on digg phrase long before the guy you linked to did and I've been following it!

Just do a search for Digg on my site and you will see.
