The new toolbar launched by Digg is found to be creating problems, as it seems like it affects Google’s search engine indexing. Digg has said that it would attend the issue immediately and check on what is creating such problems. They have assured that they would work out the issue after discussing with SEO experts and make sure that search engines while crawling do index the code as it does normally with any other web page. Many users who tried using the new toolbar have not given any pleasant reviews about the new toolbar. It has been expected by users that Digg would rectify the problems soon.
The main problem that has been reported is that it brings in a new screen that advertises for real estates and other unrelated advertisements while making an important search. The users feel that it really disrupts the search process and delays their work. This act of Digg’s toolbar has been found to come in between Google’s search engine algorithm and the results.
On addressing to the media about the issue that has been created by their new toolbar, they have said that they would make the necessary changes to the code and get things done at the earliest. They have also assured that they would change the code and make it easy for those who search the web for collecting information. Users are also expecting it to take off the extra advertisements that come on their screens while searching disturbing the whole process. In a blog post, Digg has mentioned that their developers worked closely with the search engine team in order to make sure that the new toolbar does not interrupt the usual tasks of users at work.
Though all these assurances have been given, it is still not sure if all the issues would be rectified positively. Another problem that was noticed was that Digg was referring the same URL even when it sent visitors to other websites outside Digg. This was a big mistake, as that would look as if it has been referring itself. Considering the feature of diverting websites to other website as a strong point, Digg was all these days enjoying the benefits that was offered by Google for referring more traffic. But Digg is denying the fact and saying that the links were Google friendly. They are saying the links were all right behind the scenes and were not working as they look like. A similar problem was that it was also noted that Google had ignored Digg as an abbreviated version of Digg was being passed to the referred sites.
After looking at all these problems and comments given by the users about the new toolbar, Digg has said that it is developing an update that would address all these issues. They have also assured that it would no more disturb users with toolbars that would shed tons of advertising banners.
