Auto-tweeting of Google Alerts has become one of the most popular features in AlertRank, and now that AlertRank accounts are free these auto-tweets are popping up everywhere. We’ve added lots of controls that let you fine tune your auto-tweeting, and I wanted to point these out.
Let’s take the public Google Alerts account I created for the food author Michael Pollan as an example. These alerts are sent to a Twitter account, and have generated a good list of followers. The auto-twitter page for this account on AlertRank shows you the different ways you can control which alerts are tweeted.
- Add a hashtag to the end of each tweet to help people find it with a Twitter search tool. You can add as much text as you want here, and AlertRank will automatically trim the alert to make sure the total tweet is within 140 characters.
- Use the AlertRank quality score to control the importance of the alerts you tweet. The AlertRank score is based on Google PageRank and a collection of other influence factors. The higher the AlertRank, the more influential the source of the alert is.
- Select the search terms to include in your tweets. You can collect alerts from up to 1,000 search terms in a single AlertRank account, but you can limit the tweets to just the terms you want.
- Restrict tweets to those alerts with the right page features. For example, if you want to only tweet alerts that allows comments or trackbacks, you can set these options on. That gives you a set of tweets that are suited for a blog outreach campaign.
- Depending on the amount of alerts you get in your account, you can restrict the number of tweets to a maximum per hour and per day.
The best part is that all of this tweeting is automatic. Since the accounts on AlertRank are free, you can create multiple accounts, each with their own search terms and levels of auto-tweeting control.

Ciao all, I’m new to the site, but I have been looking for this place for a long time ‘n I am so happy I finally got here.
I’m 21 years old and doing my bachelors at Columbia.
I am the kind of hombre who loves to seek innovative things. Presently I’m fabricating my private solar panels. I am managing it all by myself without the assistance of my staff. I’m using the internet as the only path to acheive that. I discovered a truly awesome website that explains how to make pv panels and wind generators. The place explains all the steps required to solar panel construction.
I am not exactly sure about how precise the information given there is. If some experts over here who have experience with these work can have a see and give your feedback in the page it would be grand and I’d extremely value it.
Thanks for reading this. U guys are the best.
