Interesting… I really wonder if he did this knowingly.

I don’t understand how it can be blogspam? But anyways, he should have directly posted the notice for hiring at their digg blog so he’ll not get into much mess.

Since when is having ads on a website to cover hosting costs spam?

SPAM is information received without wanting to (unsolicited). Therefore people who go on DIGG know that blog posts posted by individuals are available.

I dont think there is anything wrong with it. They should have posted it from the digg blog though.

I didn’t see the story, but I’ve never thought Digg to be that trustworthy. Either way, I doubt the guy made that much money from the Adsense ads. When one of my sites used to make the front page, I only made $80-$150 with well-placed Adsense ads. Not spare change by any means, but not enough to risk pissing off the Digg community. Besides, I find that removing ads from pages I want Dugg helps in the process, and the real benefit from Digg doesn’t come from short term advertising profits. And don’t get me started on the smart pricing that happens after a good hit from Digg…

Yes, it’s wrong but they’re the staff and they can do pretty much anything they want…
