Google Alert Method

The Google Alert Method is very simple.

Here is how you do it.

Step 1 - You simply go over https://www.google.com/alerts and set up an alert for keywords in your niche.

When setting up your google alert be sure to pick the following options...

  1. As it happens (you will get an email as soon is content is posted using your selected keywords)
  2. blogs - This will make sure you only get alerts about blogs that have just created a new post using your keywords.
See the screenshot below...


Step 2 - Once you receive a google alert via email, then you go to the blog that just posted new content and comment on their post.

Note: You will want to be one of the first people to comment because the first people to comment will be at the top of the comments and more people will see them when they comment on the post.

Your traffic will come from the link (your name will be linked to your website) that you are allowed to leave when submitting your information before making your comment.

Few tips when using this method...


  1. Some people will tell you to figure out a way to add your link in your comment. I don't recommend that. Most blog owners are not stupid and they will see that you are just comment spamming.
  2. Make a great comment. Your job is to make other readers of the blog post want to learn more about you so they can get more of your insights. So..your comment can not be something like (I love your article..keep up the good work). It needs to either add to the conversation or even start a new one. For example: You could read through the blog post, take one main point from it, and go into more detail about that point in your comment.)
  3. This method is very time consuming so it may be worth the investment to hire a virtual assistant to do this method for you. I have never used a virtual assistant for anything but I have heard that you can hire 1 for as little as $2 an hour.
