Next, here you setup the alerts you’ll like to receive and make sure they are relevant to the content you’ve just published. When you receive an alert relevant to your content you can start interacting with people who will find your content valuable. Within these alerts you’re looking for interrogations about the topic because it provides an opportunity to answer the question and link to your resource. In order for this to be extremely effective you should create a resource guide so when you provide your link, people will want to link back to it and share it on their social networks. Here are a few tips to help you setup the right alerts. When you first enter Google Alerts, you’ll be asked to enter keywords. Make sure they are question based keywords, because it will help a lot and possibly limit your stress.

For example, if you’re concentrating on “link building”, Use the following… “Common blogging
mistakes”,  ” How SEO works”, “How to link building”, How to build link  updates ,  common
link building mistakes, link building… OR alternatively if you’re focusing on Health tips on diet, you can possibly use the following keywords, such as Dietary nutrients, common health tips, mistakes during diet selection, how to maintain good healthy diet, diet for good health. You’ll notice from the alerts I’ve setup that they are question based and need an answer.
This is where you’ll jump in and provide your answer with a link back to your content. The more people you get your content in front of, the higher chances of someone linking back and engaging with it.
