– It’s Knuttz

- It’s Knuttz: I’d like to propose a new term to enter our lexicon: Made for Digg (MFD), just like Made for Adsense sites, these are sites that are specifically formatted as Digg bait to satiate people’s latent desires to see funny pictures from around the Internet into one place. With Adsense of course.

    I got tired of all the ads on knuttz upon my first visit and I immediately identified the whole site as being something created for gaming digg. I now bury every knuttz entry I see as spam.

  3. Ethan,

    I just wrote up a big post about Knuttz, which kind of dissects how they do it.

    You and your readers might be interested…
