Google Alerts

Googling Vs Google Alerts

When I want to stay informed about a certain word, I can Google this term every so often or turn on Google Alerts. Most of the time I forget to Google the term or do this not often enough. By using Google Alerts  I can be certain to keep up to date with the term without having to remember to Google it.

Following A Term With Google Alerts

An example of a term I follow with Google Alerts is: Databeet. When something is published on the internet about Databeet I get an email with links to the new news about the term Databeet. If there is no news about the term I don't get an email.

Tips In Using Google Alerts

I myself think of these tips, when using Google Alerts for terms I want to keep up to date with.

• If I find a term really important I set the Google Alert on dialy for this term

• If I only want the most relevant results about a term choose most important results

• If I only want results on a term in a certain language choose that language

• Don't set too many Google Alerts in the beginning

• Don't set all Google Alerts on the same day

• Don't only use Google Alerts to keep up to date with a term.
