Rick–Which voting discrepancies? Between the organic stories on Digg and the advertiser stories in the Digg Ads system? The two operate independent of one another. In other words, Diggs on Digg Ads items do not have any impact on related stories that exist within the main (organic) Digg system.

Blah–Did you read Arron’s comment as a positive one? I interpreted it as negative, that he didn’t like Digg Ads and so he “voted every ad down.” In my reply I tried to address some of the other negative comments that expressed concern about the ads being deceptive. Given that all of us (both those of us who, as I do, like the Digg Ads format, as well as those who don’t) are able to identify that the ads, which are called out as “sponsored” units, I’m not understanding who is being deceived. Thanks for chiming in!
