Blackhat Digg
It was only a matter of time.
Here’s a site called User/Submitter, which I assume is real, where diggers get paid to hype stories.
“Cost: $20, plus $1 per Digg.
After completing the form below, you will be taken to PayPal. Once your PayPal payment is received, your Digg submission will be given to User/Submitter users to promote on Digg.com.
User/Submitter users are then given the chance to digg your submission and other stories for $0.50. After your submission has reached your desired number of diggs, you will be emailed a report.
We cannot guarantee that your submissions will hit the front page of Digg. We reserve the right to reject or cancel any submission for any reason.
If User/Submitter is unable to fulfill your requested number of verified diggs within 48 hours, you will be refunded the amount of Diggs paid for but not received within 5 working days.
All User/Submitter transactions are private.”
Thx RRW.
