Make money from Digg.com

Those who spend lot of time digging on digg.com, why not make some money while you digg. Yes, you can earn each time you digg a post. This method is an extension about how Web 2.0 can be misused by social networking.

A site called User/Submitter offers 50 cents for digging a set of 5 posts on digg.com. All you have to do is register at usersubmitter.com with your digg users ID and they will send you the list of post’s to be dug. What is this site getting by paying 50 cents for every digg set? That’s a logical question, let me answer that. Here is how exactly User/Submitter is able to pay its users, if you run a website which has articles on it, to drive traffic to the site you pay User/Submitter a base amount of $20 and $1 per each digg. Digg.com flashes your post on its front page only if the post has been dug at least 51 times within 24 hours. A post on the front page of the digg.com can drives 10,000 to 15,000 users to the site which roughly translates to $400-$500 Adsense dollars. So by paying $71 ( $20 base + $51 for each digg) getting a huge amount of traffic which eventually means hard cash is not a bad deal at all.

Digg.com needs to come up with another algorithm to stop people from exploiting its services.
