in Digg Value - Part 2 (The experiment ends) on TechWinter
I do not have a problem (myself or others) posting my URL into comments on someone else’s blog or site so long as the link I provide has something to do with the topic of the blog or post and the person makes contributing comment first. As the case with the comment I made on Lifehacker, the link I provided to my blog was in line with the topic of the discussion and I did not just post a link to my site but rather gave a brief synopsis of what I thought and did and then said for more details and pics go here. Honestly, my comment on Lifehacker was intended to help drive traffic to my site but first I contributed to the discussion. It is a fine line that you walk when posting links to your site on someone else’s site, like many things it’s the way you do it.

I did notice that the article does not appear on Newsvine anymore, interesting.

By seeding your own blog you broke the Newsvine Code of Honor, also I believe that seeding your own blog on Digg is taboo.
I have seen the exact opposite. Of course I do not seed my blog but rather cross post to both my Newsvine column and my blog and provide a link back to my blog in the Newsvine post. I have seen little traffic increase from Newsvine – witch makes sense because people have little reason to go to my site when the content is already in front of them on Newsvine. However, a post of mine recently (last night) got dugg and I have seen a dramatic increase in traffic with only 3 diggs so far. In addition I posted a comment to Life Hacker and posted a link back to a blog post on my site that had to do with the topic of the Life Hacker article – I first however posted a meaningful comment, I did not just post a link to my blog. I saw an increase of traffic from that as well.
