The 10e20 blog recently compiled a list of websites that are known to be banned from Digg, most for no good reason. He also remarks how the number of lifetime Digg bans is increasily dramatically. The websites he came up with were:
- Lee Odden’s Online Marketing Blog
- John Chow
- Digital Point
- Squidoo
- Text Link Ads
- SEO News Blog
- ecademy
- SearchBliss
- Connected Internet
- Real Estate Webmasters
- Rock My Monkey
- Paul Stamatiou
- Paula Mooney
You can also add V7 Technology to that list. You can't Digg any of our stories, and I'm not quite sure even why. It's not a spam site, and it was banned from Digg before we ever even had anyone try to Digg us. I wonder if it's just tech.v7n.com that is banned, or perhaps the entire V7 Network. Hmm...
I am sure his list is only a very small fraction of websites that have been banned that shouldn't be. The MFA (made for Adsense) sites and spam sites deserve to be banned, but why are legitimate sites getting completely blocked? I guess we'll never know.

Huh, never realized Digg took it upon themselves to censor the internets. Thanks for the good write-up Julie.
