Thank you to everyone who is making the effort to draw attention to this. If nothing else, digg will be more specific in it's published policies. Ideally, they'll improve their "banning" process because right now, it's wide open for abuse. There are some interesting points made in the comments on digg and in the stories above such as, "Why is this a big deal? If the SEO site is any good, it will get traffic from the search engines." Also, "digg is a social news site, the community decides what it wants in or out at it's discretion." Then there's these comments, "SEO = spam" where there really is no room for discussion. Very much like how digg support works. The most interesting commentary to me, comes from TopRank Online Marketing, specializing in organic SEO, blog marketing and online public relations.
