Use of Linkback feature with Digg.com - User Banned from Digg

Why would I get banned from Google, I didn't violate their terms of service.

Apparently, I only violated Digg.com's.


Where is the connection here?

Last I checked, Digg.com is also displaying Adsense and they allow profanity like it is unbelievable.
They stand a higher chance of being banned than I do.

um, maybe from spamming ?
get to many new links in a short time will get you banned as well.

Doesn't vbseo prevent this?

The linkbacks from vbseo do not count as your average back-links. Or is this not the case?

I know Google limits back links to 100, but vbseo this problem is eliminated, correct?

This is hardly a quality post to dig:

Digg - FORUM RULES! PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING!

Yet you seem intent on flaming anyone who says it's spam

no, vbseo does not prevent you from getting back-links.

the link-back system is to let you know where your back-links are once someone has given you a link.

Bye now.

To me, it's sarcasm.
To others, it's a joke at your expense.
To you, it's sound advice.

Seriously, how can you expect to be called anything other than a spammer when you do things like Digg your own forum posting rules?

I help run 3 websites in addition to working on my own in my spare time; myself and the people I work with on other sites use Digg quite frequently, but we limit what we Digg to what we know will be widely popular, and we do it in moderation.

Quality vs. quantity. In the world of webmastering the former always outperforms the latter. Quit passing blame to other organizations, companies and people.

MarketTimes,

I'm sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with Digg.com.

Luckily, vBSEO's many SEO features will still provide your forum with a great advantage in harnessing traffic from other sources, particularly the search engines themselves.

I've edited this thread title to more accurately indicate the source of the problem being discussed.

Stop trying to hold vbSEO liable for your next ban as you are clearly trying to insinuate.

You will get banned again ,it's only a matter of time before your spam tactics are discovered once again.

MarketTimes,

The problem lies not within vBSEO as a product, the problem lies in the hands of vBSEO customers who abuse the linkback features to spam other sites with their site content. If you honestly feel you have some content worth posting on Digg - then do it once or twice a week....not 4 or so pages in a few days.

You have not only damaged your site by doing so, but you have also damaged the potential you had for gaining more members from Digg. No one likes spam, and I mean no one.

Take it as a lesson learned the hard way and move on. It is your fault if Google places you in the sandbox for spamming.
