I don’t mind getting the blog results, but I figured maybe they should separate them up and show it different, because I’m having to wade through them to find what really pertains to me.

The true intention of this blog is to discuss insights and thoughts relating to the world of article writing & marketing… at the intersection of authors/experts & publishers/distributors of content.

The best blog ‘commentors‘ are the ones that ADD VALUE to advance the discussion in positive ways.

For those who don’t know how to manage their Google news alerts, go to http://www.google.com/alerts/edit and click on the “edit” link on the right side. Choose from the dropdown that appears where you want alerts from “News, web, blogs, groups or comprensive” if you only want them from one source, choose that, from all sources, choose that. This is being discussed a lot in webmaster forums and does have a bunch of people angry about excessive blog alerts. I use them for client sites a lot and find that for those in narrow, unusual niches, it is great to get “comprehensive” alerts from all sources. Those in more competitive areas, I limit it to single sources.

From my first exposure to the internet only six years ago, when I knew nothing of search engines, I could see organizing all this information would be the challenge of the century. Even Ezine Articles is a virtual library of filing cabinets. Finding information is one thing, organizing it in a useful fashion is another. On one search you find what you need from a sponsored link on page 1. On another, you go ten pages deep, visit a half dozen links and decide to do something more productive. It has to get better.
