Creating and Using Google News Alerts
December 5th, 2007 by Debra Simpson
I’ve created a short video on how to Create A Google News Alert.
Google Alerts are email updates of the latest relevant Google results (web, news, etc.) based on your choice of query or topic. This is a great way to keep up on industry trends, find content to blog about, or find blogs to comment on for backlinks.

- getting the latest on a celebrity or event
- keeping tabs on your favorite sports teams
