Using Google Alerts is like spying on who's talking about you. heheh http://google.com/alerts Simply type in your search terms. I put in all my websites. Sometimes I'll put in a term that I'm doing a project on just to see what other people are doing with it. You can stop them at any time. You'll get notifications in the form of emails of sites that have your search terms. Then you can click on the links they give you to read what's up on that site. I do have my name in there too, but it's pretty annoying because I get hits for anything with my first name and my last name, but not necessarily together. You can get the notifications as they happen, once a day, or once a week. Thanks for reading the blog, Fran. And do come back more often. :) Peggy Hi Fran!

I want to ask you about this: "Last week I was wondering why I was suddenly getting more than the usual number of opt-ins to one of my newsletters when Google Alerts told me why" Do you mind sharing what or how you had that set up in Google Alerts? I enjoyed your 2010 post of today and just wandered on down thry more of your posts... I'll have to come back here more often! Fran :) Good for you Peggy… it’s nice to hear your story about article

I wonder if those who go the quanity route are actually seeing a big boost in their opt-in numbers or their IM income? Thanks, Peggy Hi Tishia,

I must have learned that before I wrote my first article. ;) I do have over 100 articles published, but not all for the same niche. I can see where having over 100 in one niche will certainly make you an expert! Thanks for your insights, Peggy Hi Doug,

I agree about quality. I've also heard that it's all about quantity over quality which I totally disagree. I've come across some articles at Ezine articles (and a few other directories) that stunk and after looking at the author information and seeing all their other articles it was clear that had fallen into the 'quantity' trap. I'd rather read articles from an author that writes FEWER quality articles than an author that writes LOTS of crap articles! Great post Peggy! I agree about quality.
