Google Alerts
Google Alerts Allow you to create alerts about any subject and shows you the newest results. You can create specific alerts and have them sent to your e-mail.
Creating Specific Alerts allows you to keep up to date with the latest information on what's going on in a particular Subject. Whether you want to create an alert for your name or your niche Google Alerts will show you the latest news.
I created a Google Alert for HTML 5 Articles. This is how I find out about the latest developments in HTML 5 news. I can follow all the links and read up about HTML 5. I always note certain points when I visit each site.

- Unique Content: Since Google Alerts show new content I rarely have to worry how new it is however it can be a new post on a old subject so I read it over carefully and follow links contained within in case they point to references about the work and I can determine how new the content really is.
- Link Building: I always look for a way to add some valuable information so I can drop a link to my specific page that correlates to the subject on Forums and Blogs. ( especially if they mention your name or business) you can drop them a thank you for the mention.
- Pagerank-Alexa Rank: I check out the Google Pagerank and Alexa rank to see if this would be a good place to drop my link, in return get some link Authority and possibly more visitors
- Contact Info: I always note the Author or Webmaster as I may want to trade links or buy advertising at some point. Also the Author may write Articles for my Specific Alerts that I may have set up as they may be an expert on the subject. Ask them if they may want to Guest Blog or write you an Article.
