Thanks – I was just wondering, can I use this content on my page, if I provide a backlink to your site?

Thanks for your comments.

#1: You missed my point. My point was WHY people believed the story to be true. It was mainly due to the high profile domain they saw the story on.

#2: I do buy Diggs on a regular basis and it DOES work. As long as you have a decent story.

#1 The decision on the domain name was made because money.co.uk has thousands of articles of trusted content. Not because it’s money.co.uk. The value becomes associated with the domain via content, not because it’s a 5 letter domain.

#2 Buying Diggs rarely works nowadays.

Interesting article, surprised the domain name alone had such an impact…

Interesting story. What if someone published a mostly-true linkbait story like this, and rode the wave as it circled the interweb. Then once popularity died down, the author published a follow-up to say it was fake? Even if it wasn’t fake, wouldnt that still be a good method to squeeze more out of a dried up story and get some more links?

This case also shows how sad the ‘traditional media’ are. What the hell are we paying them for, anyway?
