Copy Brighter: Microsoft’s Ads on Digg Reach A New Low

  • brett · 2 years ago

    This post was most likely hand buried by the Digg admins. It was gaining traction on the "Hot in Industry News" leaderboard and it mysteriously vanished.

    Hey Brett-


    I noticed "THIS IS NOT A JOKE" earlier today-and for a moment in time thought i made a wrong turn onto a warez site or something...certainly not digg. kinda disappointing..

    The more bloggers who post about this low-quality advertising the better. Hopefully Digg will get the message and raise the quality of advertisements.


    I really don't know why websites, even games don't say to consumers, we're going 2 serve you ads, that's how we make revenue, plese choose what your into and we'll serve only ads about content your interested in. Requiring users to choose 1 or more categories.


    This should benefit both sides, users and content producers, resulting in higher click through rates due to more appropriate ads.

    Digg sucks. There are loads of social networking sites better than digg.


    I guess I am being a troll.

    I use noscript and I never see ads on Digg... it's so much nicer that way and I'm glad it spared me from that awful gazillionth visitor one. I mean seriously, that is SO 2000

    I saw these ads and was thinking, "Digg must have no traffic if I am the 10,000 visitor!"
