Alert! Alert! Here's Google Alert

Bunch of Google products huh? Here are some: Google Video, Google Calendar, Google Finance, Google Base, Google Trends, Google Earth, Google Checkout, Google Deskstop. Name it, Google has it.

Oh by the way, they have Google Alerts in their portfolio. I have tried it, in a couple of seconds, your done. Wealth of information is headed right in your inbox. Get ready to be informed. Google Alerts sends you an email each time a new page for your chosen keywords makes it in the top twenty results on Google's web search. Thereby, easily spying on competitors. Gets you updated on the latest search results on your chosen terms. Keeps you updated on your industry. More importantly, you'll be able to track your progress if you are working hard to be listed on top pages of Google's SERP.

This service is free. Google just want you to keep on embracing them so someday, you'll never be able to do anything without them. Hmmm, smells like teen Microsoft spirit. The service is almost a lazy way to learn things. You can also choose to be alerted in this settings: once a day, as it happens or once a week. With type of alerts: News, News and Web,and Gropus.

Visit Google Alert's homepage (http://www.google.com/alerts), enter the search term, type of alert, frequency of emails and of course, your email address. You can set up alerts for as many terms as you like using a Google Account.
