I wrote a guest post at Food Blog Alliance, a place to exchange tips, tutorials, and observations about food blogging; on How to Use Google Alerts – 5 Quick Ways to Get News About You & Your Blog

In it, I explain the basics of how Google Alerts work and give you 5 quick ways to get started on Google Alerts like:

1. Do a “vanity search” for your name, nickname and/or your blog’s name
2. Track incoming links to your site
3. Track your content for possible plagarism
4. Keep your eye on your favorite topics
5. Get notified of spam links inserted in your site
