Default How does Google Alerts Work? Why don't I ever see my Blog posts in it?

Hey guys,

I have set up several google alerts for different keywords. At the same time, I regularly post to my blog. There are several instances that I posted with the exact keyword I have in my Google Alerts.

How come I never see my site in Google Alerts? Is there something I need to setup? How does this whole thing work?

Thanks,

Peter

I would also setup a comprehensive alert with "yourdomain.com".

Don't thing you can do something wrong with Google Alerts, it's too simply to use. Maybe your keywords are too general so that your posts are buried. Or your site is simply not crawled by Google. It also can take a while (days) to show up.

Submit your blog RSS feed to RSS feed Directory - Feedage.com and add more ping urls to your Ping list and your alerts will start.

There is one thing you can do wrong- choosing "web" instead of "comprehensive" may prevent you from getting alerts about the blog.

The alerts seem to have no rhyme or reason- some things will cause an alert the same day they are published, others will appear much later or not at all.
