[...] With results like that, it’s understandable that people think you can’t make money on a Digg. However, I’m here to tell you, Digg is a big money maker if done correctly. You just have to know how to optimize the advertising and target it to the Digg user. If nobody made money on a Digg, then there wouldn’t be so many sites trying to game it and for sure there wouldn’t be any paid Digg services running. Let me show you what kind of money a Digg can make if done correctly. [...]

Interesting.

3 of the 5 listed made the front page in record time.

I think I’m going to stop visiting digg.

I’m pretty sure it’s the Wii story, because that is a dupe of a story that is already on the front page with a couple hudred diggs.

Excellent point, you are right. I guess there are ways for them to increase their profit. The 80% that are random maybe just a lie, or it maybe far less than 80%. Another thing to consider is Diggs from non user/submitter members. That’s helps to fullfill the Digg number requirements. Also, a member needs to make $20 before being paid. That’s 200 Diggs. Don’t know how long it may take to do that. In the mean time, the operator of the site has the money up front.

How do they make $1 per digg? They have to pay out $.10 per digg ($.50 per 5) and they have to pay out for diggs that noone purchased so that they can hide who is paying for diggs. For every one payed digg, there are 4 unpayed diggs so they only make $.50 per digg, plus the $20.

This isn’t a scam, i actually tried it out just for kicks, worked as advertised.. 3 hours after i submitted my story, it was on the front page.. it was the 4th time i submitted that story to digg so it’s not like it was a fluke that it made it to the frontpage or anything..
