Google keyword alerts are a great way to follow industry trends, news and topical events.  You enter in the word, phrase or topic you would like to follow and out pops everything across the Internet containing that word. Forums, blogs, news, videos, webs, Digg posts…basically everything gets sent to your email box as an alert. You can then click on it to read more, take note of a trend, or delete it.

I’ve got the term “Pecunix” in my Google keyword alerts along with a few dozen other industry related items.

For years, the term “Pecunix” did not generate to many alerts and in fact most of them were my articles or blog posts. However, since e-gold is no longer the ponzi favorite, the “Pecunix” alerts are many and much more frequent. Each day I’m receiving anywhere from a few to a few dozen.  Unfortunately, they are not the kind I like to see. It does not take a genius to forecast where this kind of business will lead Pecunix.
