Using Google Alerts for SEO

The rel=nofollow experiment has been put on hold for the time being, the 4 weekly publications I make have been taking all my time due to a shortage of manpower. I would like to talk about an important part of my strategy for the experiment, Google Alerts.

Google Alerts is a service provided by Google to tell readers when links have been indexed by their spiders containing keywords set by the user. If you are interested in "internet marketing", you could set an alert to be notified when Google indexes a page containing "internet marketing". You can set the frequency of these notifications so your inbox doesn't fill up with junk from Google.

I am using the service to tell me when a page is indexed with words like "goatsmilktavern" or "new orleans web design". This takes some time out of the pains of discovering which pages with links to gmtS have been indexed.

There are a lot of tools available to you that can be used for SEO, just get creative. Anything to save time and help you with your analytic reports for your clients is a good tool to keep handy.
