No. Violating a website's Terms of Use is not illegal. Digg or StumbleUpon can, however, delete your account if they discover that you violate their Terms of Use. We encourage you to violate any Terms of Use at your own risk.
We minimize the risk of your being banned. We encourage you to learn more about our special techniques and algorithms.
As an entry-level user, you earn $1.00 per paid vote. Whenever we ask you to vote for something, we ask you to vote for several other things at the same time, and we hide the paid vote among the other random votes.
We offer two highly lucrative referral programs. You can earn 10% of the earnings of any friends you refer who work for us, and 10% of the cost of advertisements from any advertisers you refer to us. To refer users and advertisers, see your social user page.
Some users make more in referral earnings than they do voting for stories with us!
We estimate that we are 50 to 100 times more cost effective than conventional Internet advertising. With Digg, our cost per click is about $0.003, whereas the cost per click of conventional Internet advertising (such as Google AdWords) is about $0.20. Through Subvert and Profit, it costs about $75 to get a story on the front page of Digg, where it will receive about 25,000 clicks. Information about StumbleUpon is less readily available, but our cost per click should be roughly similar. StumbleUpon is a more linear proposition, whereas Digg is all or nothing.
A Digg's price varies, just like any commodity. Right now, a Digg is valued at $2.00.
Right now, Stumbles are also valued at $2.00.
We are whomever you want us to be. We come from nowhere and we are everywhere. Learn more about us.
