A pay-per-digg service called Usersubmitter.com has been launched which allows publishers promote their stores on Digg.com and at the same time pays user who digg the story submitted by the publisher.

Digg user will receive 10 cents for every vote they cast on the story, on the other hand the publisher is charged $20 + $1 for every vote. Isn’t that insane? Creators of Usersubmitter have struck gold !! but at the same time I get a feeling that Digg.com is no more democratic and it might loose its popularity. Is this the end of Digg? Lets just wait and see what Kevin Roses comes out with.

If you want to promote your story or earn money for digging, then headover to this place.

My 6th sense says, In the near future Digg bot may automate the task of Digging and to tackle this problem, Digg may introduce captcha for digging… ahha that would make digg suck even worst

  1. Get Paid to Digg

    Thilak over at Tech Buzz is talking about a new service called User/Submitter that pays people $0.10 per Digg while charging “submitters” $20 per story + $1 per Digg.
    They are getting business, too.
    It’s probably safe to say that Digg…

  2. That just defeats the whole purpose of Digg. It’s all downhill from here, unless they have the sense to ban users who play into this.

  3. Yeah, I was banned from Digg for participating in it.

  4. Oh wow Thilak, sorry to hear that. I was going to ask you if you were planning on participating in it.

    It looks like they do in fact have ways of detecting the paid diggers after all.

  5. I would like to see a publisher who is dumb enough to use that service

  6. I too was banned. Anyone else? Is there a tally anywhere?

  7. [...] Elinor w/CNET noted that she emailed the webmaster of this site and has not heard back; so, it’s unclear as of now who’s behind this site. Turns out, the site actually launched months ago and caused some concern back in October. [...]

  8. I’m quite annoyed to think that usersubmitter.com can so easily manipulate Digg. So I decided to put together a little application that finds any stories being manipulated, lets you know with one click and then if you double click it the story will open in your browser so you can bury it sharpish.
