Google Alerts is a Very Handy Tool For SEO

It is amazing the number of tools and services that Google provides for free! In fact the only reason why people don't seem to use them as much i guess, is that they don't advertise these tools as much as possible.

Google maybe the main providers of targeted traffic on the web today, they still don't know how to use that traffic to sell or advertise their own products.

Most of their free tools are not known to the public. They have tools that are free to use, which are so many times better than paid services provided by some third parties.

A good example of such a tool is Google alerts.

We all are aware of the importance of backlinks for SEO and adding your search engine ranks. One difficulty is that it can be time overwhelming trying to websites that we can possible place our backlinks.

A rapid and easy way to find places you may be able to get backlinks is with Google Alerts.

Simply type in your keyword and Google will periodical deliver websites that are interrelated to your keywords or key phrases. Even better you can set it up for blogs, which may be just wonderful for creating back links by commenting. Just make sure in this case that the blog is a dofollow blog!

You can set up as many alerts are you want. You can also set them for daily, or as they happen (might be other intervals, I don't remember). I just have my set for daily. Pretty much every day I get a list of places to get links for each keyword I am targeting.


I have been using Google alerts since Google started providing the service. it is a very handy tool.

You can also use Google alerts to track information about yourself, or your website. You Just create an alert for your name or your website url.

With this, anytime somebody writes about you on the internet, you get that website url directly in your mail.

To some it up Google alert is a very good tool. Thanks for posting about it here so many others could benefit from it as well.
