www digitalnewsalerts.com is a news and tips blog about social media apps, gaming and gadgets. This guide shows how to check that you have the right site, how to find your way around it and how to contact it, since many searches for the name are really contact questions.
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Type the address yourself, without spaces |
| 2 | Pick a section from the top menu |
| 3 | Read the About page for the site’s own description |
| 4 | Use the email address or form to get in touch |
| 5 | Do not rely on phone numbers found elsewhere |
Step one: reach the real digitalnewsalerts site
The site’s address is a single word followed by .com. In search boxes it turns up in many forms, for example www digitalnewsalerts com, www digitalnewsalerts . com and www digitalnewsalerts. com. Other versions are digitalnewsalerts . com, digitalnewsalerts .com and digitalnewsalertscom. The spaces do nothing: a browser needs the address written without them, in the form digitalnewsalerts.com.
Type it into the address bar rather than clicking a link in a message you did not expect. Look-alike addresses are common for any brand-name blog, and a one-letter slip can land you on a different site.
Step two: find your way around digitalnewsalerts
Once the home page loads, the menu at the top lists Home, Games and Gadgets, Social Media Sauce, Biz and Tech Topics, About Us and Contact Us. A search box sits beside it. The home page opens with an editor’s pick strip and a long run of recent posts, most of them guides.
The easiest way to browse is by section. Games and Gadgets holds game news and device write-ups, Social Media Sauce collects posts about app features and tips, and Biz and Tech Topics covers broader business and technology subjects. Each category page lists posts newest first, with a short excerpt.
A quick test for any address you are handed is to look at the part between the dots. If the name before .com is spelled exactly as above, with nothing added or swapped, you are in the right place. Extra words, hyphens or a different ending point to another site, even when the design looks similar.
Step three: read what the site says about itself
The About page says the site covers social media apps and tips, gaming and gadgets, and that it wants to keep readers informed and entertained. It mentions platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat. It does not name an owner, a company, a street address or a launch year on the page that was read, so those details are not public.
That is typical of small blogs, but it means the usual trust signals are missing. Use the posts for general ideas, and check any technical or purchase advice against the maker’s own pages.
Step four: use the info and contact options
Searches such as info digitalnewsalerts, digitalnewsalerts info and contact number digitalnewsalerts show that many visitors want a way to get in touch. Here is what the Contact page actually offers.
- Open the Contact Us page from the menu.
- Fill in the form with your first name, last name, email, a message and, if you like, a website.
- Or write to the email address shown on the page. Put the site name, digitalnewsalerts.com, in the body of the message, as the page asks.
- Wait a business day or so. The page says replies are usually sent within one business day, but only to relevant messages.
No telephone number is listed on the Contact page. Several posts on the blog are titled around phone contact, but nothing in them could be matched to a number published by the site’s own pages, so do not dial anything found only in an article or a search snippet.
When you write, keep the message short and specific. Say which article you mean by quoting its title, say what you want changed or explained, and give an email address you check. Messages that include a title are easier to answer than general notes, and the site says it only replies to relevant ones. Do not attach files unless you are asked to, and avoid sending anything private.
Step five: protect yourself while you browse
- Never give a password, card number or one-time code to anyone claiming to be from the site. The Contact page asks for none of these.
- Be careful with any message that says you have a news alert you must open through a link.
- If a page asks you to install an extension or an app to read an article, close it.
- Keep your browser updated and use your usual security software.
The pages read for this guide loaded normally, with no forced downloads. The newsletter-style alert box on some pages asks only for an email address.
What to do when the digitalnewsalerts answer is not on the page
If you cannot find a post you read before, use the search box and try two or three words from the title. Titles on this blog are long, and the first words are often the least memorable part. If the article has been removed, the Contact form is the only route the site provides for asking about it.
For anything involving an account, a payment or a device warranty, go to the company that sells the product or runs the service. A news blog cannot reset a password or process a refund, and any page claiming it can is not worth trusting.
