    Anyone else getting a flood of google alerts from alerts set up for their domain names. A sign of an upcoming update?

    Be prepared :) I got 3-4 x the usual number of them and 90% were website alerts - not blogs etc.

    I have had my websites for years but know nothing about google alerts. Never heard of it. Guess I missed something over the years
