Update: Looks like Digg has acted on some of the criticism and feedback they received from SEOs.

“The major change is that anyone who is not logged in as a Digg user, will not see the DiggBar, on or off Digg.com. They will instead be 301 redirected to the publisher’s site. Logged in users will see the DiggBar, unless they choose to opt-out through their personal account settings.”

I’ve used and abused digg still they have specific ways where and when they would help you as a marketing tool. So even though how much you use digg it will always be kept!

I’m linking the idea of abusing the DiggBar until it gets taken away – that way it’s a win-win situation

I wrote a bit about this, calling DiggBar an “SEO-killer.” But, after reading John Quinn’s post explaining the details, I’ve been converted.

The DiggBar doesn’t seem to be causing any harm for SEO or pageviews, and if it generates more traffic, it’s a win-win.

That’s very true that digg has a specific crowd. From that standpoint marketers could/should take advantage of it if their stuff falls into the right categories.

Hey Jared,
Digg caters to a very specific crowd so I think its effectiveness as a marketing tool really depends on what you’re promoting. I think you’re right in that people don’t necessarily need to make a clear cut decision about Digg (either stick with it or abandon it). The reactions are split up in this post the way they are to get a better understanding of marketers’ opinions on the issue.

Definitely good and bad sides to the digg bar. For now I think I will simply ignore it. I have never used digg to any real extent anyway. I think there are a lot more effective ways to promote your stuff online and off. However if you are heavily involved in digg it could be a big advantage. But I dont think people should jump to digg or jump away.
