The whole digg ads kerfuffle is tantamount to haggling over the funeral decorations or the wording on the tombstone. The takeaway from this article: the only two factors that did anything to increase clickthrough were 1) deceiving naive digg users into thinking the ad was a digg story submission, and 2) blocking the screen with obnoxious, animated slider ads. The only reason for that increase is obvious: accidental clicks from failed attempts to get the freaking ad off the screen. Digg is dead.
