We have been working hard to recruit social users who will vote for your webpages, music, and videos. We are excited to announce that we are now accepting advertisements to reach these high traffic sites! Pricing will be similar to the pricing for our existing sites. If you are a social user, this means you can expect to earn more money, with payouts via alertpay.com. If you are an advertiser, this means you will be able to launch more targeted, diversified, and powerful campaigns with simple execution and credit card payments.

Please accept our apologies for the recent downtime. Our domain host, GoDaddy, suspended our account until it completed a spam review. Unfortunately, in order to resolve the issue, we had to change our registration from that filed by one of our deceased founders. This process took us by surprise and we apologize for not being able to keep you in the loop. Thank you for your patience over the past week or so.

To be perfectly clear, we do not send spam. We only send important messages and voting assignments to registered users. Users who wish to opt-out may do so at any time by emailing us or logging in and pressing the “delete account” button. We have decided that we should take this opportunity to allow all of our users to opt-in to important messages (such as this one). If you do not opt-in now, you will no longer receive important messages. To opt-in to important messages, click the following link:

One of our email channels was domain-dependent and the downtime may have dropped your recent email to us, so please resend your email so that our team can address your needs.

On a lighter note, we have some very good news to share. We have taken the downtime as an opportunity to recode our site and to expand our content placement to additional social media sites including video, news, business, music and gaming sites both large and small. This will mean more profit opportunities for our social users and more exposure and more options for advertisers. Stay tuned for more information in the coming days and weeks and get ready to expand crowdsourcing to millions.

To stay in the loop, remember to opt-in to important messages. Here’s that link again:

Until next time, Subvert and Profit!

Ragnar Danneskjold

Hi Vasili,
I tested out your service yesterday – only bought 40 votes on Digg and 10 stumbles. I know I should have done more votes to make the article more popular – I’m not moaning
Anyway the system works and I just have a few more questions that will help me in the future:- … {best time to submit?; USA time? Buy diggs in batches?}…
Cheers for your time,
John

Ivan,….
We made the homepage… I think the digg editor MANUALLY promoted the story since it was gone from the upcoming queue

October 2007

Vasili,
As of now, I have received 122K visitors the first day and 27K visitors today, of which probably ~100K came from Digg and another ~30K from Reddit (the story was on front page for >24 hours and in top 10 for >12 hours) and another ~10K probably from other sources.
This has been a great deal for me and I very much look forward to working with you in future.
Best wishes,
(Name redacted)

Hello Ragnar,
The experience of seeing diggs accumulate, the transition from upcoming to popular the moment it occurs, and the mind-boggling barrage of traffic which comes next, is nothing less than euphoric. Each week I look forward to making digg popular. My only regret is that I didn’t discover Subvert and Profit until now.
Thank you Sir,
Ricardo
