Great post, Adrienne! Online brand management is becoming increasingly important. I’ve used Google Alerts for a while now and it really is an informative tool.

We issue press releases on our weekly radio show topics and guests. Then we use Google Alerts to see which press release gets picked up by the most news online news organizations. It gives us some indication which style and content is most effective.

I’ve been using Google Alerts for months now and it’s great; what a time saver.
Let’s hope it stays free. The Great Google never stops fiddling with everything, including AdSense. Apparently these ads on a website pay almost nothing any more.

You are welcome Adrienne. After using it, let us know how effective it was for you. For me it is pretty good way though and works very well.

That is an excellent use for Google Alerts that I have never considered. Thanks for the tip, Steve!

I assign few of my site’s seo task to someone and it is very good way to track all the progress. Just create google alert for your website name and you would know what is going on with your site.

The main mistake you want to avoid while setting up alerts is to stear clear of anything too generic – you’ll get flooded with hundreds of useless emails real fast.
