Get Started with Google
Setting Up Alerts
You can use Google Alerts to monitor anything on the web and then have
links to any matching content sent directly to your email address each day,
or when new content is available.
How to Create
Google Alerts
Step 1
❱ To get started setting up an alert, navigate to http://www.google.co.uk/
alerts. Enter your query just as if you were doing a normal Google
search. You can use the various Google search options, including
quotes, minus sign, to exclude words and the site prefix to find
specific types of website.
Step 3
❱ The next step is to choose a delivery rate. The default is once a
day: Google Alerts checks for new results once per day and emails
you if it finds new results. Depending on the subject, Google may
not be able to deliver alerts daily. Alerts on these subjects will be
sent, when they are available for you.Step 4
❱ To help you avoid an alert email full of low quality results, you
can change the volume of the alerts to “Only the best results”. This
allows Google to filter results to those most relevant to your query
and those of high quality. If you prefer, you can change this setting
to “All results”.Step 2
❱ Using the Show options menu, you can choose to tell Google
to only provide content of a specific type (videos, for example) or
you can request that every type of result is sent to you. Everything
alerts include results from Google Web Search, Google Blog Search
and Google News.
