How to find out what others are saying about your blog/products

This series on blogging has gotten extensive! Here is a related info. by Heidi.

How can I setup my own blog?

Today I’m going to share one of the simplest, most effective ways for us to know what’s going online in regards to our site & people needing ACDSee help.

Has anyone noticed how I pop in within 24 hours & comment on blogs that mention our website or ACDSee products? My email inbox tells me what’s being said because I have Google continually searching for me! That saves me from reading a ton of blogs. And I love meeting all of the new people out there!

How do I have Google continually searching for me, you ask? Well, some call it them ‘ego searches’ or ‘vanity searches’. Google Alerts is a little feature that allows you to give them search terms & have the results emailed daily or on an ongoing basis. They’re easy to set up & can be turned off if you don’t find it useful.

So what should you search for? I have Google Alerts set up for the following searches:

digiscrapinfo, digital scrapbooking, digiscrapping, acdsee

This allows me to be updated immediately when someone mentions our website, blog, an acdsee product (in case someone needs help), and the general digiscrapping ones are for keeping up with trends. If you were a designer, you could use your store name & when Google alerts finds blog posts where people are giving you credit, you could comment on their layouts. There are a number of things you can do with these, just get creative & think about how you could use this tool.

If you try it, let us know how it works for you!
