I thought I would try something different this Sunday afternoon. Every Sunday I ‘attempt’ to catch up on the over 200 blogs I follow through Google Reader and my inbox of Google Alerts. Here are a few of the posts and alerts that caught my attention this morning.
According to Digital Response Internet Marketers are adapting to cater for women. “The internet is one of the key marketing areas where such firms are looking to improve the way they market to women, with an increase in target advertising among the methods being used.”
I would have to say that this is not just true of Reaching Women Online but there is a slow (time to speed it up folks) adaptation by most business’ when it comes to how we market to women.
Britopian the Social media Blog is talking about Disclosure, honesty, and Social Media. It took a while to watch the video (You tube size issue kept it from working for a few days) but was worth waiting for. It is nice to not just read about how to impliment Social media for business I enjoy being able to sneak into these events through video. Stop by and listen to Andy Sernovitz’s three E’s to disclosure in social media on Michael Brito’s Blog.
No week is complete for me without catching up on Wendy Piersall’s posts. This week she wrote a post featuring 13 inspirational Entrepreneurial Women in Technology.The list included:
- Kelly Anderson
- Blog Her founders Jory Des Jardins, Lisa Stone and Elisa Camahort
Of course Wendy herself should be on the list… So my list would have 14 inspirational women.

Each day I monitor not just my own Google alerts but those of my clients as well. If you are wondering what people have to say about your business you should be using Google Alerts as well.

Getting started is easy, simply go to Google Alerts and complete the form.
Of course like any web based tool, there are always a few tricks:
1. Don’t just track your company name, track the names of your products and services.
2. Track your name and executives names as well. If you own a blog, consider tracking the names of your main writers. This will let you know when ever a news article or blog mentions their names.
3. Think like a search engine.
Track phrases by using “quotations” and ” -negative keywords”. For example my name is Karrine unfortunately I share this name with a video vixen who receives a lot more press then I do so I search “Karrine -Steffans”.
Things to Google Alert:
Your name
Your business name
Your executives names
Your product names
Your competitors business names
Your competitors Executives names
Industry phrases with quotations
