Digg has banned asp.net pages that use web parts

I can't submit to digg any more

I have an ASP.NET website that uses web parts and I can't submit to digg any more. It tells me

“Your URL appears to be redirecting a bit too much for our tastes.”

ASP.NET likes to use 302 redirects for every page and digg thinks this is spam I guess. ASP.NET seems to be the anti marketing language. We all know how bad it sucks for seo and now it sucks for social networking.

And it sucks for the user experience as well - the browser has to follow the redirect, and that takes time.

I can't imagine why they didn't implement this as an internal redirect within the server. You might want to see if there's a way to reconfigure it to do that.

That is the problem with asp.net. You have to reconfigure it to do anything. Nothing out of the box works well. Rapid Application Development works fine if you give control completely over to MS. If you don't mind it looking and performing like crap then it is great. It really should only be used to internal apps and not a professional public website. If you do be prepared to throw a lot of hardware at it.
