I wanted to share an easy way to track your own online publicity. With Google Alerts, you’ll receive notification every time your name is published anywhere on the Internet.
- Go to http://www.google.com/alerts
- In the Search Terms, type you name and don’t forget to put it in quotations. I also suggest adding a keyword such as “actor” or “writer”, especially if you have a popular name.
- Select how often you’d like to be updated and how many alerts you’d like in each email.
- Choose where you’d like the email alerts to be sent or you can pull the RSS feed and view your alerts in your web browser whenever you want.
- If you every need to change the settings, visit http://www.google.com/alerts/manage.
It’s that simple!
