Those sites really only get a huge pagerank if they appear on the front page (and most of them have no chance of that). Also SEO is not that black & white, those sites need a lot more then just a link on digg. If digg adds the nofollow relationship to links, it would make lose its own pagerank - because you need a certain amount of links that link outwards - plus digg gains more keywords by doing this, because its own digg comments page shows up for certain keywords that these splogs use.

There are some benefits for indexing a new site, but most sites updated frequently don't have a problem with this. You are only looking at the front page pagerank

Most of those upcoming pages disappear into a crevasse so deep that the pagerank they pass on is minimal.

There are some benefits for indexing a new site, but most sites updated frequently don’t have a problem with this.
