There are a few things you can do in order to get notified when somebody has dug your article.

  1. Make sure that you have an up-to-date version of your article. This will ensure that if somebody finds any errors, they can easily correct them.
  2. Make sure that you have a contact information for the person who dug your article. This will allow them to be contacted if they want to make any changes or additions to it.
  3. Make sure that you have a link to your article on your website or blog. This will allow people to easily find it and read it, even if they don’t have an internet connection!

First, go to the Digg Search page at http://digg.com/search

Type in the base URL to your site into the search form:

Make sure that you’ve selected “URL Only”, and “Upcoming Stories”. Leave the other options as default. Now hit the search button. 

Looks like I don’t have any upcoming stories… but if you look over on the right, there’s an RSS icon!

 

Subscribe to the RSS feed for this search, and your RSS reader will let you know when you have been dugg, before it ever gets to the front page.

If you do want to only be alerted when you get to the front page, you can change the search to “Front Page Stories” and subscribe to that feed instead. Or both. Or not at all.

Enjoy!
