Get paid to Digg
October 2, 2006 |
Some folks may not like it but Usersubmitter.com has gone the way of PayPerPost.com and is paying users to enhance the community. Earn $.50 for stories you Digg or pay $20 plus $1 per Digg to get some juice for your own content.As for me, I’m on the fence, sure its questionable but no different than advertising and paying for eyeballs. Its a capitalist economy folks, not socialism or communism, the business with the deepest pockets has an advantage.

Nice site, Paul.
I’m with you, on the fence about paying for digg.
I’m hopeful that the creativity in my sites will get attention on their own merit.
Tell me what you think:

I’ve read some forums that imply 100 bookmarks on del.icio.us delivers 1000 readers. Find anything about digg?
