Either way, its interesting to see how little it is and was being used. Thanks again for your contribution. Dave Thanks Conor for your input, yes I must read this again and make it clearer that it’s actually a bot from google that finds the content and then notifies the user by email of the new content was found.

Either way, its interesting to see how little it is and was being used.

Thanks again for your contribution.

This is either badly written or plain wrong. Google Alerts sends you an email when a keyword or phrase you are monitoring is detected by Google's indexing bots. Example, I want to monitor the phrase 'irish bogs'. Google's bots come across the phrase during a crawl and send you an email with a link to the location of the phrase. “Basically the way they work is to email you once someone puts in a search for a term or phrase that you have requested to be notified by email.”
