Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall, Who Is the Fairest of All? Google, Google on the Net, Who is the Fairest of All?

Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall, Who Is the Fairest of All?

Many a young hopeful would-be princess has poised in front of her mirror asking the age old question, "Who is the fairest of all?"

Fast Forward...Year 2011

"Google, Google on the Net, Who Is the Fairest of All?

I like to think that I am not that same little would-be princess standing before her mirror hoping to be announced as the fairest of all.  No, I am all grown up now (and then some!)!  In fact, I usually don't spend much time before the mirror anymore.

Yet, there is that same lure out there...that pull...that draws me to wonder, to dream, & aspire to being the fairest of all.

Google Alerts Are the New Mirrors of Today 

Vainly, perhaps, I have set my Google Alert to let me know anytime that my name comes up on Google!  Vain, yes!  Self serving, perhaps!  Better than a mirror, yes!  Another great feature is that Google Alerts do not show wrinkles.      

Other than the "princess" thing the real side of what Google Alerts do for me in 2011 is that I know immediately how my marketing is working and I can use the always fresh information to keep my clients informed.

FYI - Everyone - What I meant by Google Me & Google Alerts:

Set your Google Alerts up by searching the way someone would find you - I set mine as follows:

"Barbara Hensley, The Barbara Hensley Collection, RE/MAX Hometown, Rockwall, Heath, Rowlett, Sunnyvale, Texas".  I set this as a link...and this is where my Googlelink will take anyone that uses it.  The link is in the body of this post as an underlined link or you can click on the red Google.  This is also the link from the big blue Google button in my signature area.

The value of this is when someone does Google you they can read all the items that pull up regarding you and your business.  I often tell a client to Google Me in order to know more about what I do.  This is powerful!

The icing on the cake (or just plain fun!) is when your Google Alert sends an email every time your name comes up with a new item on Google.  This can be set up by going to your Google Account.
