Desperate for diggs?

Desperate for diggs?
I know we all love our blogs to be read, love the attention and the comments, but where should one draw the line? It seems that there will always be people ready to pay to get in the spotlight and also people ready to do that for them.

As Peter Da Vanzo of Blog@vn7 reports, the user/submitter service offers diggs galore, for a formidable sum of $1 per digg + $20 entrance fee. If one chooses to be on the other side of the food chain, he gets paid $0,50 per 5 diggs. The serbice also provides money back guarantee, Peter writes:

"If userlinks/Submitter is unable to fulfill your requested number of verified diggs within 48 hours, you will be refunded the amount of Diggs paid for but not received within 5 working days."

I don't know about you, but this totally changes my view of Digg.com. Who knows how long these dig spammers have been 'round for? Although Digg has recently employed some new tactics to avoid digg spam, the user/submitter people are most probably slipping through their filters.
