Google Alerts is the best tool for… monitoring your competitors.
When a new company appears on the market (which means: in Google SERPs) or issues a press release – you will be notified.
I have been using it for about a year and I really recommend it.

Cheers for the tip, I have been working day and night trying to get my site ranked better and I may have been barking up the wrong tree so to speak.

Thanks

Great advice! I’ve been using Google Alerts to find business opportunities by setting up alerts for business openings, relocations, and events going on in my regional area but I would have never thought about doing this. Good stuff!

I’ve found that using Google Alerts on important keywords is helpful in keeping up with news and developments in one’s area of interest/business. It’s better I think to try to use keywords that are not too general in this, to help minimize the amount of useless results that may come back.

I agree with some of the comments above about alerts spamming you and full of junk…I would use some strong email filters and maybe a different address just in case.

Should it also be noted to make sure that the site allows a do-follow for all links that you place in the comment field? Or, is it still noticed as a reference by the S.E’s even without the do-follow link?

I think I need to be at least a little famous before this strategy works for me. However it’s a good and fresh idea.

I think that this strategy might work well for a site that already has a reputation. I’ll give it a shot with mine but appart from a few client’s sites I doubt that anybody really talks about me

great post, I’ve never thought or heard of anyone using the google alerts method but it makes perfect sense and seems something worthwhile trying, thanks.

i agree. well, basically, not really talking about you but you’ll get to see those sites/people who are talking the same subject as you. not necessarily they will talk about you because obviously you are new, just starting to make a name for yourself (your brand/product) and most of the people in your niche still don’t even know you exist. just my two cents.. ^^

I’ve never heard of Google alerts before.
Very handy for keeping track of niche markets methinks!

One of the most important tools to have is Firefox with the “do follow”/”no follow” extension. Then you know to what blogs to contribute to. This one is great for that. We supply the owner of the blog with content and in return we get a link back. But the question is? Do blogs really offer any kind of page rank?

I’ve seen Google Alerts on my account panel but I’ve never checked it out. I guess I’ll be doing that today. Thanks.
