by on Apr.15, 2009, under Opinion & Analysis

Adapt or Die Marketing has done a great analysis of the new Digg Bar.

  • Digg has gone to great lengths to not affect the SEO rankings of the original content (yay Digg!)

  • The Digg Bar contains javascript that provides additional analytics to Digg. In other words- Digg.com is using the Digg Bar to track your off-site activity (boo Digg!)

  • It appears that Digg intends to add advertisements to the Digg Bar (boo Digg!)
