Google Alerts is an amazing Free Tool that uses the power of the Google search engine to watch 24/7 for information that is of value and importance to you.

How much would it cost to have an employee search the Internet continuously for new information related to your business? Google Alerts will do it for free and never whines or asks for a personal day off…

Here are some uses where you can setup Google Alerts:

□   your competitors company names

□   your own company to see if anything is being written about you

□   your own name

□   keyword searches on things related to your business (ie: “solar energy tips” or “municipal waste”, etc).

□   keyword searches on things you are researching (ie: “numerology” or “sales leadership”, etc.)


Here is a link to a simple two-page description of how to setup Google Alerts so you can put the power of the Google Spiders to work for your business…

Google Alerts Action Instructions…


Everyone go there now and setup a Google Alert on the term “Kevin Hogan” and also on your own name, and one keyword topic of interest to you. Do it now and you’ll see how this amazing tool can help you…

Seize the Spider,  Rob

PS: DO NOT INSTALL INTERNET EXPLORER 8 BETA VERSION, It is very buggy and it took me two hours to get rid of it…

    Thanks Rob, I did set up google alerts a week or so ago, but I didn’t think of all these different things to have it search for. This is great. Good thinking Teddy Bear!

    I forgot all about this tool … even though I have it set up for subjects of interest to me. I’m the editor of a newsletter for reflexologists and it takes waaayyyy too much of my time hunting down articles. By having Google Alert do it for me, I can cull the good stuff for the upcoming edition in a fraction of the time it would take the old fashioned way.

    Thanks for the this reminder about Google alerts. I’ve used it to gather info on topics I want to keep up with, or research. But you added a couple of other categories and ideas that will make it even more useful to me!

    Thanks, Intuitive John
