The problem is that everybody will probably spam their referral link all over the web.

In fact, its started already with Scottr submitting to Digg. Lets hope Scott learns a bit more about marketing before his final exams.

    No spamming so far, and we say in the rules if you do ANY kind of spamming you get kicked out.

    So, I don’t think we will have a problem.

    Altough you have figured it out as a spmming war but search engines cannot trace it. It’s really nice way to get some backlinks, I would be looking to have something similar for myself.

    One thing is for sure that it will increase the awareness and will narrow down the spammers.
