Be A Lert. The World Needs More Lerts.

Actually, let Google do the work for you...and be a lazy Lert.

Here's how you can have Google searching for items of interest to you. Google will email you links automatically each time it finds something new on the internet that matches your terms.

Set up Google Alerts

There are times when you may want to know when specific Google Search results change with new listings in those results. Sure, you could conduct the search every day, or several times a day, but why go through the hassle when you could just automate that activity using Google Alerts?

All you have to do is enter your favorite search terms into the “Create an alert about…” field, and Google will email you whenever there are new results. Use Google Alerts for things like new movies with your favorite actor, news reports about a disease you’re concerned about, news about your favorite sports teams, and much more.
