Can't submit to Digg. What's wrong?

Discussion in 'Link Development' started by wmtips, Feb 25, 2008.

  1. #1
    Anyone experience any troubles submitting content to Digg? I am unable to submit nothing from domain www.wmtips.com. For example, URL of the article "How much are Google, Yahoo and MSN able to index?" is valid, but I keep getting “This link does not appear to be a working link. Please check the URL and try again.” Site is built on custom CMS and do not use any security add-ons like Bad Behavior (I've found there are some problems with Bad Behavior powered sites). Previously (before Digg submission form re-design), Digg submissions from this site were accepted without any problems.

    Am I alone with this problem? Any thoughts?

    Is the website doing any strange re-directs while Digg is looking?

    No redirects here. Just now I tried to submit robots.txt for test (which is not handled by PHP etc.), got the same error.

    Could they have banned that domain from submissions for any reason?

    Surprisingly, Digg programmers take users' feedback into account :) Yesterday (at last!) I wrote them about this problem and they replied:
    Then I wrote a simple PHP script grabbing the contents of URL in question with CURL and sent it to them. I said it works OK on my side, why doesn't it work on their? And today I received an asnwer:
    And really, it works now. So the problem was on the Digg's side and it is resolved :).

    Well, it was almost a year ago... (Searching in the Sent Folder...) It was a simpliest CURL test for wmtips.com site:

    <?php
     
     $url = 
    'http://www.wmtips.com/HTML/principles-html-code-optimization-692.htm';
     
     $ch = curl_init();
     
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
     
     $output = curl_exec($ch);
     
     echo '<pre>';
     echo (htmlentities($output));
     echo '</pre>';
     
    ?>

    Either domain is banned, or it might be a script issue not really sure.

    Is it so hard? Any name (test.php), any webserver with php support. Replace url with yours and see if it prints the HTML of your site.

    My letter to them after test was:

    If you haven't already, you could try submitting the article from a different browser or device to rule out any browser-specific issues. Additionally, you may want to reach out to Digg's support team to see if they can provide any insights or assistance.

    Same problem for me in 2024. I tried submitting one of the webpage "Wire Mesh Supplier in UAE", and it eventually disappeared without providing a proper information. When I check the submitted link tab, I cant see any of my links submitted. Am I banned or something?
