Tip of the Week: Track yourself online with Google Alerts

Idea dog It’s important for nonprofit organizations to be aware of their online identity — and not just the stuff that you create yourself.

Google Alerts provide a simple way to be notified by email whenever your organization, its staff or programs are mentioned online. I’ve been using it to track online mentions of my clients and it works so well!Alert

You design the alert to search blogs, groups, news and the web (or all of them) and you set the frequency — as-it-happens, once a day or once a week. Searching for your organization name, campaign names, staff and board members would all be worthwhile. To set up an alert, you have to have a Gmail account (by invitation — if you don’t have an account, email me and I’ll invite you).
