Google Alerts

If you are have Google account already, you don’t need to register to this service again, just use your Google account to login.

After login, you can set a phrase to monitor very easy.

1. Just type your phrase to Search phrase box. I want to monitor a phrase “www.otakatik.com”, so I type it on Search terms box.
    
2. Choose your your alert type that you want to monitor. Choose it in Type combo. I suggest, if you’re monitoring from entire of souce, choose Comprehensive type. In Type combo, you will find six type of alert:
   • News, the result is from 10 ten of Google News latest news.
   • Web, the result from top twenty of Google search result.
   • Comprehensive, the result from entire of Google services (News, Google Search, Blog Search, Video and Groups).
   • Video, the result from Google Video.
   • Groups, the result from Google Groups.
3. Then decide the frequency the email will send into your inbox. The options are as-it happens, the email will send every time Google Alerts find your term; once a day, the email will send for once a day; once a week, you’ll get an email that contains your monitored term for once a week. I’ve set it to once a day.
4. In Deliver to combo contains your email (usually, it contains your account email) and feed.
5. The last step is click Create Alert button. If it is created successfully, you’ll get this message.
    
6. And if Google Alerts finds your terms in their database, you’ll get an alert by email.
