Monitoring your site development with Google Alerts

May 17th, 2006

For those of you promoting websites, or just wanting to keep up to date with your site’s progress in Google, here’s a neat little trick using Google Alerts

Create an alert with your domain name, choosing ‘News and Web’. Select how often you’d like reports via email.

• site:www.domain.com will send you a report of new pages indexed by Google
• www.domain.com -site:www.domain.com will send reports of any new links to your site that are indexed by Google

Enjoy!
