Writing and creating original content for one’s own website is every blogger’s dilemma. Your blog can absolutely go places and can gather a lot of interest from readers if you always go for fresh content. Updating the contents of your blog will always attract the attention of your readers to stick with your website. As one of the bloggers, you always have to bring something new to the table.
Aside from the new blogs, people seek attention to blogs that are always updated and it is helpful for the blog when it comes to its traffic. If you always have new content on your blog, it will more likely to catch the attention of your readers. So the question now is, how can we make this possible.
Get it Fresh; Straight from Google’s Oven
Google Alerts will give the latest email updates all around the net, depending on your needs. Simply, put in your query and tweak your preferences. From there, a sneak peek of all kinds of results that you want to get will be shown. One advantage of having Google Alerts is the inclusion of the latest news about your favorite celebrities or an event, latest happenings on your favorite sport teams, current events and keeping updates from your industry or competitor.
Google can let you have your own set up of Alerts as many as you desire regarding all the topics that you’re interested in. You have the power to control the alerts of what to track; type of articles and even the frequency of when you will receive the alerts.
For instance, if you wish to write content about binary options, you can make use of Google Alerts in making you up to date with the latest news about binary options. Open Google Alerts on your browser. You’re on the right web site if you see this:
Let’s say, you’d want to have the latest information about binary options. Type that keyword on the text box provided right next to “Search Query:â€
Once you have typed in your query, you’ll find the results page on the right side. The results page shows everything that it offers; however; these are fresh, current results. Past results weren’t included in the results page.
Then, click “Create Alertâ€; meanwhile, it’s nice to experiment within the guidelines.
For the “Result Typeâ€, Google will definitely provide you with everything that is related to what you are searching based on different categories. But, if you are only interested about Blogs, Videos, News, Discussions or Books, the results can be limited for you by Google. Handy, isn’t it?
When would you wish to get the notifications? Are they needed now? Or would you wish to view it later? Do you update your blog once a week? Just pick what you want at the “How often†option.
“How many†option enables you to choose if you wish to have all the results or just the best ones. Results that are closest to relevance to your search are shown.
Lastly, you have the power to choose whether to receive them as they happen by choosing “Feeds†or have Google send the results to your Inbox or receive it as it happens by choosing “Feedsâ€. If you chose “Feedsâ€, “How often†question will be set to “As it happensâ€. It is better to select one Gmail account in order for you to monitor all the notifications.
Make the Most Out of Google
Okay, you are done with it! You may now manage all your alerts or just simply go to Google Alerts Manage Page. You can just click the “edit†tab found in the rightmost side of the present page. You can also choose to receive both HTML and text emails. In a CSV file, export your alerts if you wish to save them on your PC.
I recommend you to have filters for Google alerts because there are instances that Google gets too excited to send alerts. This will help you have an organized Inbox.
Life will be easier with Google Alerts. Be a pioneer in using the service that Google Alert offers as you discover the world with this new technology.
