Google Alerts, Google’s free content monitoring service, now has the option to incorporate real time results in alerts; this includes results from sites like Twitter, Facebook, and Google Buzz.
With geographically targeted real time results, it’s possible to select results for “nearby” or even type in your customised location. We’ve tried browsing results by cities in NZ and the results seem to be accurate.
You can also view the history of a twitter conversation by clicking on the “full conversation” link.
SEO Implications
In order to rank for real time search you will need fresh relevant content and a good number of quality followers. We suspect that Google will also factor in your ranking in the standard search results too.
