Google Video Alerts

June 9, 2008 by Shawn Collins

Today my partner for Affiliate Summit, Missy Ward, forwarded me an email that was a Google Video Alert.

WOW

I didn’t realize there was a Google Video Alert – that’s great. That’s another great research tool, in addition to Trackur, which I mentioned last week.

I was set up with the “Comprehensive” option from a while back, and figured Google just wasn’t doing alerts on videos.

But it turns out comprehensive isn’t entirely comprehensive.

Google Alerts currently offers 6 variations of alerts – ‘News’, ‘Web’, ‘Blogs’, ‘Comprehensive’, ‘Video’ and ‘Groups’.

  • A ‘News’ alert is an email aggregate of the latest news articles that contain the search terms of your choice and appear in the top ten results of your Google News search.
  • A ‘Web’ alert is an email aggregate of the latest web pages that contain the search terms of your choice and appear in the top twenty results of your Google Web search.
  • A ‘Blogs’ alert is an email aggregate of the latest blog posts that contain the search terms of your choice and appear in the top ten results of your Google Blog search.
  • A ‘Comprehensive’ alert is an aggregate of the latest results from multiple sources (News, Web and Blogs) into a single email to provide maximum coverage on the topic of your choice.
  • A ‘Video’ alert is an email aggregate of the latest videos that contain the search terms of your choice and appear in the top ten results of your Google Video search.
  • A ‘Groups’ alert is an email aggregate of new posts that contain the search terms of your choice and appear in the top fifty results of your Google Groups search.

I did a search for Google Video Alerts and found that they’ve been around since last September. It’s tough to keep track of all this stuff. :-b
