How to Create Google Alerts


Step 6
❱ If you prefer, and if you are signed in to a Google account when
creating the alert, you can choose to have the results sent via an
RSS feed. Simply sign in and choose the Feed option in the Deliver
to field. You can read your feed in any RSS feed reader.


Step 7
❱ To view any of these Google Alerts, you have to open your
email application and check the email addresses that you linked
to your Google Account during initial set up. You can check
this information at anytime via your account link, top right of
your browser.


Step 5
❱ Enter the email address to which you want your alerts delivered.
Google will protect your email address and will not use it to spam
you with offers for any other product or service. If you aren’t signed
in to a Google Account when you create an alert, Google will send
you a verification email.


Manage Google Alerts


Users with Google Accounts can view, create, edit and
delete their alerts using the Manage your Alerts page.
Click on the Edit button and you will be able to alter
any of the original settings using the simple drop-down
menus. You can manage alerts for more than one email
address by adding your other email address to your
existing Google Account. To add an email address to your
Google Account, visit your Google account page and use
the Email addresses section.

Delete Google Alerts


Should you find the info you are looking for or simply tire
of the subject matter of your alerts, you can delete your
alerts subjects, one by one. To do this open the main
Google Alerts pages via this link: http://www.google.com/alerts.

At the top of the page notice your alert subjects. You can
edit these by tapping the pencil icon or delete them by
tapping the Bin icon. Please note you are not given any
confirmation window, the alerts are deleted instantly.
