How to Create a Google Alert

By Marziah Karch, About.com Guide

That's it. You've created your Alert. You can also manage this and any other Alert you've created. You can edit your search terms, type, and frequency, or you can delete old Alerts you're no longer following.

To manage Alerts after you've left this area, just go to www.google.com/alerts and click on the appropriate link on the left side of the screen.

Alerts as Feeds

If you'd rather receive your Google Alerts as feeds you can read in Google Reader, you can do this by changing the Deliver to: column to Feed. Your alert frequency will also be changed to as-it-happens.
