Keeping track of your Digg articles

Do you submit stuff to Digg or have a particular interest in a site like ScienceText.com that you want to keep up to date with whether it gets Dugg?

Well, here’s a very simple way to search and then follow articles on Digg and to find out if someone added your post as soon as it comes up on the recent submissions section.

First, hit the Digg search

Next, enter your base URL, for this site that would be www.sciencetext.com, choose URL only, and click “Search”

You’ll either get several results or none at all. No matter, see the little rss icon at the right of the Digg search results page? Click on that and subscribe to the feed for this search.

Now, as soon as someone posts an article from that web domain to Digg it will show up in the rss feed. This would be the Digg update feed for this site. Of course, you don’t need to go through any of that rigmarole, you could just edit the URL for the ScienceText.com feed to your needs and add it to your reader.

One final step, if you’ve got great content and exposure, make sure you’ve also got great hosting so that your server can cope, just in case you make it to the Digg frontpage.
