I'm pretty sure that pages loading in the diggbar iframe still count towards your pageview numbers (your internal analytics will pick it up). Not to mention the fact that your ads get displayed, allowing ppl to still click them. The whole 'Digg is making money off your content' argument is moot. They have always made money off your content. There was never anything original on digg. They've just decided to take it to a whole new level. Now if someone comes up with data that shows that the diggbar lowers your revenue (which as of now, I don't think it does) while raising theirs, then it's time to grab the pitchforks and torches to go pay kevin rose a visit. P.S. I just realized, another difference is with 3rd party traffic estimates. Comscore and quantcast probably won't count those iframe pageviews. Compare that with the traffic lost by blocking the diggbar (assuming yours is a 'diggable' site to begin with)
