The mentions. In the past year or so it stopped working. I do occasionally get a Google Alert but its rare and it misses the vast majority of appearances of my name that show up in Googles index. For example I never get an alert when I publish a blog post. You might think that Google had figured out I was the author of those posts and was weeding them out proactively. But I do sometimes get alerts for syndicated versions of the same posts which still list me as the author so that doesnt really explain it.
It also doesnt explain all missing stuff I didnt author. Again its not that my name isnt El Salvador Email List getting cited anywhere a simple Google search verifies that it is.If you want to check if you own Google Alert is catching everything do a search on your chosen query and change the time frame to Past week or Past month. Have you gotten Alerts for all those new results I have two theories Low query volume If your name is Jack Smith your Google Alert is going to return results more often but not all the results will actually be referencing you.
My name on the other hand is entirely unique as far as I know Ive never seen a reference to another Elisa Gabbert. so alerts dont work very well under a certain threshold of search volume The only the best results filter is too restrictive I dont believe this was an option when I originally set up the alert but now only the best results versus all results is the default option. I just changed my Google Alert from best to all and it already seems to be returning more stuff. If you want to catch more mentions make sure you choose all results. Has anyone else experienced similar problems with their Google Alerts Did you.
