I started to notice that the links were nofollow and have been wondering what was going on.

I'm wondering if they went back and changed all the old links to noflollow?

It may be that you need to be a power user?

Despite this news, digg is still a good internet marketing strategy to use. It attracts more visitors as well.

Digg is only good if you optimize the anchor text to hit a long tail.

Are you posting pages that other Digg users will find interesting? Are you participating in the Digg community to make your account more trusted?
