DiGG dofollow? Since when ?

delosense · 10-13-2010, 05:41 AM

Hi there,

I have just wondered how the new digg looks like so I went there and hopped around a bit, but wait...DO FOLLOW ? I know Digg has been NO follow for some time now...since when is it do follow.

Did anybody get any changes in backlinks due to this change?

Comment apreciated.

i have always had links there. I read somewhere that it went this way over a year ago. Do follow / no follow, doesn't really matter.

It matters because do follow links has almost the tons of backlinks in SEO rather than no follow but then it is also effective but not enough to page rankings.

I believe DIGG is No Follow... unless they change it ...

Well, there is no such thing as do follow. Even if it omits the nofollow tag.
You cannot force google to count a link no matter what some people may think.

Digg is "nofollow," if you have no authority or trust. If you do, Digg may pull the
nofollow tag off of your link. But don't hold your breath.

Digg has outlived it's usefulness.

This is really a big confusion to me , last time I noticed that they added no follow attribute to all external links to what they see as the link was worthy to be a do-follow. May be they are doing this to avoid spamming.

Hi Guys,

I have also noticed that Digg became do-follow all of a sudden.

I am still waiting for my new "do follow" links to get indexed by the yahoo site explorer ( which I use for checking backlinks ). Will report on the progress when I will get some feedback.

About a year ago I usualy had problems while using Digg, because the Digg pages got indexed prior to my original pages and were ranking better as well. But that changed over time, and eventualy Digg became no follow.

Hopefully it will stick for now. They will probably incorporate some sort of "quality" checking and split NO and DO follow.

Sincerely, Buyseech

It's good to hear that now digg is do-follow , now I can get good traffic to my site by having participation in digg, people says that do-follow has more value. So it's obvious that now one is going to get more benefit through that.

Digg is no follow I am not getting any link from Digg But ya some time traffic number increases due to Digg.

Exactly....I have no idea why people are mixing stuff up here.

They will remove the nofollow tag for high authority links...you won't get
that by just submitting stuff. In fact, it's a moot point. The links are
not exactly links.

Digg has outlived it's usefulness for backlinks.

Yea, this is actually a pretty positive new thing that changed. I'm sure this can be... "used" to gain some rankings

Buyseech · 10-16-2010, 02:47 PM

Hi Guys,

I think I see whats going on.

My "NoDoFollow plugin for Firefox" showed that all the links to pages were DO FOLLOW. That is true. But although you do (eventualy) get to the page ( your page ), the link in digg that is DO FOLLOW only leads to a redirect of digg.com/story/your_title ...

You never see this page, because its a redirect.

So you will probably not get any backlinks due to this.

Somebody correct me if I am wrong.

Sincerely, Buyseech

I Just checked and it shows all the Digg links as "Nofollow."

pons_saravanan · 01-18-2011, 09:07 PM

There is no no-follow attribute in the anchor tag. Hence it is not a no-follow. But the link is not pointing to the target url. It is poiinting to the digg's internal page where it gets redirected to the target url. if the redirection is permenant 301 redirect, I would be happy since google says 301 redirects will pass the PR/link juice to flow to the target page.

I believe at least the google bot will follow the link for indexing and since there is no no-follow attribute, there may be a chance for some link juice to flow.

pons_saravanan · 01-20-2011, 04:28 AM

I just now checked the redirect from digg it is "301 Permanent Redirect". the link from digg will help
