Guys we all know the advantages of Digg and stumble, and we often want to get more traffic to such sites, the temptation is to advertise or beg for a stumble here or there on forums such as Webdigity. I'm going to strongly advice against such practices and here is why...
Problems for You
Digg and to a certain extent stumbleupon do look for Digg exchanges and where they find them its likely that users and stories will be buried and banned, often in such exchanges people leave their digg username to prove they did indeed Digg the site. Therefore a public forum is not a good place to such trades.
Problems for us
Webdigity gets a lot of traffic from various social networking sites, and if the domain was banned from even one of them it would hurt. Its therefore in our interest to discourage openly gaming such systems and while we are happy to support members and encourage visiting each sites and learning from each others articles, I guess we can't be seen to promoting such activities.
Cheers for your understanding guys
