Digg: The original and most popular social bookmarking site. It is a basically a user-driven site, where the members of the community get to decide by voting or burying the stories what should go to the front page and what should not. For most web publishers, getting featured on Digg is a joy. It can send tens of thousands of visitors in a single day. There is some controversy around the quality of this traffic though, due to the peculiar traits of Digg users. For example, it is reported that those visitors don’t stick on the website for long, and they rarely click on ads.
Digg Auto-Bury: It has never been officially confirmed by Digg, but there is strong evidence to suggest that they have a penalty that makes it impossible for the penalized website to reach the front page, regardless of how many votes its stories might receive. Websites and blogs receive the auto-bury penalty when users report them for spam or for not submitting original content repeatedly.
Digg Bury-Brigade: A group (or groups) or active and loyal Digg users that try to keep the site free from what they consider to be spam or low quality content. The make this control by mass burying stories. Certain topics tend to get targeted often by those groups, including blogging, online marketing and search engine optimization.
Domain: Also known as domain name or hostname, it is a name that identifies a website or computer on the Internet. An example of a domain is haribabu.in Notice that http://www.haribabu.in is no longer the domain but rather an URL.
Duplicate content: The presence of very similar content usually text inside a website or across different websites. Search engines tend to penalize websites that contain a large amount of duplicate content.
