Using Alerts for Reputation Management- Part Deux
By Eric on Aug 20, 2007 in Online Reputation Management
Ok, if you went to part 1 and read it, you have your Google Alerts set up. Another step is to do the SAME thing with Yahoo!! Why? (I knew you’d ask.) Well, yes it will give you some duplicate content, but the fact is that between Google and Yahoo, you are covering the vast majority of searches made about you or your company…
There are other things as well (like monitoring relevant forums, social media participation, positive spin control and many more advancd techniques), but these are a good start. So here’s how to get your yahoo alerts set up. Same method as Google except that you go to http://alerts.yahoo.com
Then you simply fire up yahoo for the same alerts as you did for Google.
You will get a lot of email if you are active on the web…Oh, did I mention to put your url in as well. It will help inform you when someone new is linking to you or talking about your sight! Works like a charm!
