The question is how to know when blog posts are indexed by Google in its search engine. For this purpose, we’re going to make full use of Google Alerts. Google Alerts is one of the most popular and useful services of Google. Many of us may use this powerful tool to keep track of trends, competitors and to stay up to date. Google Alerts notify us whenever a particular service is available or others.
