New Digg submission process does not like MS ASP.NET
I was trying to submit this hunting video to digg today and was told
“Your URL appears to be redirecting a bit too much for our tastes.”
This is just a normal ASP.NET webpage that uses web parts. ASP.NET does not work like most web programming. They do a lot of things for you. They really like to use 302 redirects to show pages.
Digg has decided that a site using ASP.NET web parts is spam I guess. This site has worked hard to make a video and picture sharing community for people into outdoor sports like hunting and fishing and now their members can’t share things they upload to digg. I think what digg did was try to stop spammers but what they did was block legit websties.

Well, it’s their loss if they are shutting out good, legitimate sites.
They are the undisputed champion of the clever dic* jokes though: “Are you human? Sorry we have to ask.”
I have tried to use and like Digg but I just can’t I have too much to do to spend all of my time there trying to build up a following for marketing purposes. Those I know who are successful on Digg complain about the lack of participation Diggers have once on the site.
To me, Diggers are like the neighbors you don’t know that show up at your party, eat what they want and leave with two beers in their hands twenty minutes later. I don’t need them.
i just tried submitting a thread in my forum which i found really funny and digg are saying Your URL appears to be redirecting a bit too much for our tastes.even for that. I am using mod rewrite to rewrite to search engine friendly urls for a vbulletin forum but i dont think that should really count as a redirect. other than that there is nothing bad going on on that page.
I looked at your forum and you got some things going on. When I go to a link I get a 301 redirect and adds s=a315239dbdf6287284206dc0578bd0c8& to the end of the url. For some reason I can’t get it to do it a 2nd time.
wierd. what would that stuff mean?
i use zoints SEO for the rewriting of the url’s as far as i know it just uses rule sets to rewrite the threads using the titles.
no reason why it should add a long string like that on the end unless it maybe was a search string?
In your Zoints SEO options, set Redirect all old URLs to their new URL to No
digg will work then.
I get the same message when I try to submit to Digg from my phpFox site. Not cool.
