Google Alerts

I just created a Google Alert for my website. Every week Google will email me a list of links to my site which were recently added to Google’s site index. Google has spiders constantly “crawling” the Internet looking for new content, when they visit my site and record my posts, I will be notified. Here is how Google explains its Alerts system:

Google Alerts are emails automatically sent to you when there are new Google results for your search terms. We currently offer three types of alerts: ‘News,’ ‘Web,’ and ‘News & Web.’

A ‘News’ alert is an email that lets you know if new articles make it into the top ten results of your Google News search. A ‘Web’ alert is an email that lets you know if new web pages appear in the top twenty results for your Google Web search. A ‘News & Web’ alert is an email that lets you know when new articles related to your search term make it into the top ten results for a Google News search or the top twenty results for a Google Web search.

Google Alerts are free, so give them a try. You might be surprised at the results.
