We all know that with the rise of blogs and content creation social media gaming has become quite popular. We all do it to some extent, the question is how far are we willing to go and what are the chances we are willing to take. There are plenty of sites where you can buy Diggs and also a couple forums where people anonymously vote for each other or sell diggs. But the latest craze seems to be Yahoo Buzz. I just got tipped by one of the readers that a new site has emerged which lets users buy yahoo buzz votes. The name of the site is “kuzzbill” where the webmaster probably switched the letters around to not make it so obvious – buzzkill.
Anyways, a dollar per buzz. Well as far as I am concerned this is the most bogus approach. If you want to waste your money go ahead and give it a try. Although we would like to link to the site we would hate to pass link juice as we hate to be a part of this spam infestation ( we are only a pagerank 2 at the moment but we are only 3 and half months old ). Face it, we all game social media to some extent and if the content is worthy its well worth. But it is due to these sites that more and more spams have begun to hit the frontpage of major social media and community driven sites.
What do you think? Is it worth spending the money on this kind of site to get yourself out there or would you rather create compelling content and then hit it hard? Share with us.

The price seems a little high. Not sure a dollar a vote is worth it. Either you’re too low on traffic to be able to afford it, or you’ve got so much traffic that it’s not going to matter.
Something I’ve seen though is offers to write articles at $3-5 each from Chinese or Filipino writers. I’m not sure of the quality, or relevance, but that would be better money spent then votes IMHO.
Too bad the Buzz algorithm takes into account much more than sheer vote volume.
So I tested this KuzzBill service and… The owner tool my money and two weeks later, I have NO votes on Buzz to show for it.
Ripoff!!!
