Google Alerts Trick: News alerts for a single source

by Adam Green on March 3, 2009

in Google Alerts, News, Tricks

News alerts can be limited with the source: operator, which lets you name the news provider. You can create an alert with a source: by itself to see all news from that provider:
source:ha’aretz

Or you can include keywords with the source. Multiple words in the source’s title must be separated with an underscore (_).:
theater source:new_york_times

Just as with location:, using multiple copies of source: separated with OR is ignored, and only the first source: is used.

I’d like to get Google Alerts for a single domain name (Rather than all sites on the net), to track changes to it’s site by looking for only keywords I specify. Know of a way to do that (It doesn’t appear that you can with Google Alerts)?

You can use these HTML tags and attributes: <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <cite> <code> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong>
