Best Use of Google Alert

Hello Friends, I have been using google alert for few month and I can see that some of my backlinks being indexed by google, anyone else who is using this option of google if yes how can make the best use of this option.

 

I have set alerts for my competitor's sites backlinks. Whenever they get backlink I get notified and I also go to that site and try to get link from there

 

that's clever!!

 

How to set-up google alert to receive alerts about back links? I see no such option.

 

^ Use this command

link:www.yoursiteurl.com

 

I didn't think of this. How do you set it up to check your competitor?

 

In order to check a competitor you need to type its URL in the search filed in the following manner : inurl: siteurl.com

It will than generates you the results from this url of the last 24 hours.

Hope I've been helpful. Good luck.

 

Thanks man. + Rep given

Yes, it was helpful Thanks for the tip. + Rep given to you also. And I see that you are new to DP. A warm welcome from me

 

Cool feature, thanks for sharing

 

i'm gonna try this. but as i know this is not the original purpose of alerts

 

This is awesome! going to set up some alerts on a few sites now..

 

Great tip, thanks

Since Google doesn't show the full list of backlinks to any website, you are better off using Google Alerts for competitive intelligence and reputation management. You can also see what is going on in the news.

 

Really great idea. Thanks for sharing.

 

Thanks for sharing,let's hope will work

 

I dont think I need to setup alert for my competitor, I used alert to get information on latest launch product and service.

 

Yeah guys that is a cool feature... but I was surprised most of you were unaware of this feature!!! I ,m glad that you all liked it.

 

yes, i use it for few month and it is one of the easy way to find blog in our niche

 

Hi,

Personally, I also use Google Alerts in finding active backlinking sources like niche relative forums and blogs via only setting up my targeted keywords as the contents of Google alerts.

all the best,
