Get an alert everytime google indexes your blog

September 17, 2007

This is an experiment of one of Google’s features called Google Alerts. This is the description of Google Alert based from their page.

Google Alerts are email updates of the latest relevant Google results (web, news, etc.) based on your choice of query or topic.

Some handy uses of Google Alerts include: [1] monitoring a developing news story, [2] keeping current on a competitor or industry, [3] getting the latest on a celebrity or event, [4] keeping tabs on your favorite sports teams.

Creating the Google Alert

Creating a Google Alert is easy. Just enter the search terms you want to receive updates on, choose what type of report, how often should you receive the report and give your email address.

    If it would do it every time it indexes it, doesn’t it give you a massive load of alerts? Bases on Google webmaster tools the little spidey drops me a visit about 120 times a day on average, so that’d be like an alert every 12 minutes then?

    Or does it just give through when something actually changed? Never really used the alerts so.

    Based on my experience, it only gives you an alert if Google indexes a new page from your blog. For example, if you don’t have new posts, then Google won’t have something new to index thus no email alert. :D
