Google alerts are incredibly useful for me. I finally figured out the modifiers a long time ago and it made all the difference. (Where WERE you when I was drowning in alerts that had nothing to do with my books??) My YA dark fantasy SKIN HUNGER apparently shares its title with a porn film, and adding modifiers made life normal again.
yay!

Hi Greg

Thank a lot for your easy explained information

I am new with Google alerts after I listened yesterday to a webinar with Hubspot.

I find it may be an interesting tool

As I have 13 blogs that you may see through the site I gave you, would you suggest me to make 13 alerts plus an alert with “Esther Coronel de Iberkleid”?

According to your experience what would you suggest? Since at the beginning I was thinking of only the name since my name is related to all the 13 sites.

I am trying through this tool to track information regarding visitors. I have as well Stat Counter in each site.

All the best and thanks a lot for sharing this information

Esther

I think I have a good handle on Alerts now – thanks Greg! I’m off to go play and see what happens

Of course, now that you’ve talked about yourself and X-Files in the same post–which may inspire others to do so as well–you’ve ruined any chance of finding those posts via Google alerts.

I have a Google alert out for anytime penguins appear in the news, “-hockey.” I wonder whether there are fascinating stories I’m missing, involving actually penguins!

Greg, thank you for this tutorial. I have had Google Alerts on my three published novels since their releases, but repeatedly during the day have been receiving Alerts that include a mere buzz word and nothing to do with my books. I just changed the Alerts all to quotes, as you suggested, and I look forward to far less Alerts, and far more accurate ones.

Incidentally, I learned of your blog through your SCBWI post and will now bookmark it for regular visits.

Thanks again,

Tina

Thanks, Greg. That was really informative. I’ve had Google alerts set up for quite a while to see when articles of mine have been circulated, but I was getting a lot of unwanted info on a certain 60′s back up singer who shared part of my name. Now I know what I need to do to fix it. Thanks!
