I'm not sure that Google Alerts are ideally suited for discussion boards, but if you're serious about using it for that purpose, then I need to make a change in the way that search engines send "spiders" out to index this site. Here's the situation:
Search engines are wonderful tools for locating information on the web, but inherently, they know absolutely nothing about any given web site, so they send out robots, (known as spiders), to "crawl the web", searching out information that the search engines can index, (IOW, data about the content and location, that they can record in their files, in some order, or rank, of perceived importance). Rank is determined by complex algorithms, (for which Google is famous), and this determines the order of "hits" that are listed as a result of a search for certain keywords.
Rather than leaving "spider" indexing to chance, most site administrators who are, shall we say, a member of the cognoscenti, choose to place instructions in the "meta tags" of the website, which advise the robots on how frequently they should index the site. Of course, they are not bound by those instructions, and some "rogue" search engines disregard them, but most of he major search engines do follow the indexing instructions listed in the meta tags, and re-index the site accordingly.
Currently, I have this site tagged to be re-indexed every 7 days. Unless I'm mistaken, the most frequent option is every 2 days. There's a downside to frequent re-indexing, of course. Having all those spiders crawling the site takes up bandwidth, and slows down the server, so that response time slows down somewhat, (though not a lot, for a small site such as this). Each search engine sends out multiple robots to each website that is being indexed, because they have to crawl over a lot of data, every time it is indexed, looking for changes. This tends to increase traffic, significantly.
Also, if Google interprets, (or misinterprets), the instructions in the meta tags of a website, to suggest that the webmaster is attempting to "manipulate" data or instructions, so as to try to achieve a higher "ranking" than the site is "entitled" to, (according to their rules), then they can, at their discretion, lower the site's ranking, to reflect their opinion, and in some cases, this can result in a punitive adjustment. I doubt that a short re-index interval would trigger that issue - abuse is usually considered to be something such as the inappropriate use of key words in the description of a site in the meta tags, or listing a site as X-rated, when it actually contains family content, (in order to boost the ratings.
).
So, if enough members are interested in using Google Alerts for this site, then I probably need to change the re-indexing instructions to 2 days, rather than 7.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
I did not set the Google Alert specifically for MC information from the PP site since I visit practically every day. I set it to get MC info of interest from other sites.
I don't think it's at all necessary to change a thing.
You could tell me how I can change my tag line to remove the repeated word, though.
