#1 – Use a script: Digg is a company that has has received $40 million dollars in funding. Therefore, if you are naive enough to think that their system can’t detect when someone is using a script, you deserve to get hit by the Digg ban hammer. The bottom line is that you can’t automatically game Digg’s voting system, so if you are trying to use a script to accomplish that goal, you are doing nothing more than spinning your wheels in neutral!
#2 – Submit 5x more stories than you Digg: Although it is not as complex as the Google algorithm, Digg definitely has a very interesting algorithm. Therefore, if you think that you can get dozens of your own stories to the front page without ever participating by Digging other stories, you are lying to yourself.
The Digg algorithm is all about encouraging participation, so if you want any chance of your top notch content performing well on Digg, you need to focus on Digging other stories that are legitimately good, submitting great content from other sources and then only submitting your very best content on a very rare basis.
#3 – Spam your way to high hell via the Shout System: I actually like Digg’s Shout System, because it can be a legitimate way to expose other users to content that they are going to enjoy. However, once you start abusing this system to draw attention to every single story you submit or Digg, don’t be surprised when you get informed that your Digg account has been banned.
#4 – Be Zaibatsu: In case you are just beginning to participate in the Digg community, Zaibatsu was a power user who had submitted between 3000 and 4000 good pieces of content to Digg. Although I could explain why Zaibatsu got banned, I think it will be more effective for you to go read the ridiculous reason why Zaibatsu got banned, and then you can return and read the remaining six reasons on this list.
#5 – Be a bot: In case you didn’t catch on in Point #1, Digg is a serious company. Therefore, if you are using methods (such as bots) to game their system, it is only going to take a short amount of time for them to ban you from their service.
