5 Comments on Alert! Alert! Google Me This!
Google Alerts don't tell you everytime someone looks for your name.. don't get spooked. It will tell you when someone WRITES about you or MENTIONS your name, but nothing can really tell who is searching for you. But it's a nice way to see if people are writing about you AND (hopefully) that they're saying good things!
I have it only set up for when someone uses my name in their blog or even my own. I want to know what people are saying about me.
Fred...thanks for your reply! It is kinda spooky!! LOL, I was actually hoping someone would really be impressed that I even knew what an Alert was! (I used to work for one of the largest auctions in the NW and I'd use Alerts to find out what other auctions across the nation were using for their LIVE items. I used the words, "million dollar auction" for an Alert. It would return newspaper articles from all over the U.S. If they sold something really cool, I'd use their ideas to help our fundraiser.)
Todd: How can I tell WHAT they are saying about me? How do I find out if they use my name, etc.? What else cool can you tell me?
Just set up an alert for "Jill Watts" (using quotes)... any time someone mentions your name you'll get an alert. Just click on the link and you can see what they're saying!
If you're getting too many (maybe there are other Jill Watts out there who are all over the web) try and tighten it up a bit and put "Jill Watts" and "Keller Williams" or "Jill Watts" and Vancouver or "Jill Watts" and realtor
If you don't use quotes, it will return ALL entries with Jill AND Watts... which you don't want. This way, it has to be BOTH Jill and Watts.
Fred...that's awesome! I love when I learn something cool like that. I'll go fix my alert. Oh geez...and I was thinking I was all that!!! LOL.
