Google Alerts is a useful tool for you to monitor topics of your interest on the internet. Just key in your topic, type of link (news, blogs, videos, etc) and Google will send a notification to your email once new links are found. So if you’re looking to buy something, just use it as the topic, for example: WTS Victoria’s Secrets Logo Speedy Bag.

Some handy uses of Google Alerts include:

* monitoring a developing news story
* keeping current on a competitor or industry
* getting the latest on a celebrity or event
* keeping tabs on your favourite sports teams
