The Benefits of Google Alerts
1. Blog Commenting - I set up one alert for the main keywords of one of my niches. Now I am alerted to new blog posts or articles published online. The benefit of this is that because these blog posts are related to my niche, they are perfect for me to comment on. So this is a great way to find relevant blogs for blog commenting.
2. Find other websites using my articles - legally or illegally. This is with a Google Alert set up for my name. Yesterday I got an alert and checked the article and found that they had taken it from ArticlesBase. ArticlesBase, just like EzineArticles, requires for an article to be used from their site the resource box must remain intact including any links. With my article, they had included the resource box but removed my links. I have now contacted them and asked them to remove it from their website and am waiting on a reply. If I hadn't been using Google Alerts I would never have found this article and I wonder just how many others I've missed before using GA.
3. Just keep an eye on your competition. When using Google Alerts for your main keyword phrase you can see when articles are published for that phrase so you are, in a way, keeping an eye on your competition. Although they may publish articles and blog posts using other keyword phrases, you will be able to keep an eye on those that are competing for the same phrase.
So if you aren't using Google Alerts - you should be
