Google alert is one very useful tool for blogger. All the professional blogger takes help of 
Google alert to set alerts for the topic on their niche to get notified about what’s happening on the web.
In official terms
Google Alert is the web’s leading automated search and web intelligence solution, allowing you to catch new information as it appears. Google Alert uses its unique Web Intelligence technology to track the entire web for your personalized topics and send you new results by daily email.
Though the things has changes now, You can also opt for feed subscription option to subscribe to alert. In my opinion it’s better then unlimited Email alerts.
How to Create an Alert using Google Alert
- Go to Google Alert website

Thanks for your comment and appreciation.
I’ve been using Google Alerts for a long time. I don’t worry about the Alerts clogging my Inbox because I just set up an email account (using my domain) specifically for the alerts.
