Digg Update
The ROI of traditional Digg focused link bait was already pretty bad, but it just got much worse. In January Digg did an algorithm update which requires much more voting diversity to rank, and sometimes hundreds of votes to make the homepage.
In the past some of my friends were able to rank stories by just having a group of friends vote on the same stories. Now that Digg has so many members they de-weighted the ability of a small group to vote a story to the homepage by requiring a wider group of votes.
