On: Make Frontpage of Slashdot, Reddit, Hacker News == Google Disables AdSense

This is a well known issue with the so called Digg effect. I warned people years ago not to aim for Digg traffic because Adsense tracks page impressions and click throughs and Digg users behave like robots, flooding a site with requests and bouncing off right away.

[edit:] Reddit is even worse, higher bouncer rate (95%+), and even lower engagement than Digg.

When you find an article on a site via digg you are supposed to check out the rest of the site?

That literally did not occur to me till I read your sentence.

I've certainly never done so, I've never even thought to do so. I've sometimes clicked a link inside the story text, but not often.

Digg is only for posting ugly comments and offending others so that's why you actually don't have to click or even read something on Digg. ;-)
