Where we are, our ISP, SmartBro is the third to the last among 17 other ISPs when compared from the period of August 19, 2008 – February 18, 2011.

I sure hope that later on the speed improves.  We need to look at urban clothing photos as reference for a school dance performance and mathematical operations with fractions videos as a refresher lesson.

Ye  right.

Let’s say for arguments’ sake that you are not that vain or curious enough to know if someone has been Googling you. Let’s say you are interested in various topics like potted cactus, seo tools, affiliate marketing and other topics of interest, this tool will still be useful in letting you know that a new post/article has been added for your reading pleasure.

3. Click “Even More” and you will be directed to this page.
4. Under the “Search” on the left column, click “Alerts” and you will be directed to the Google Alerts page.
5. You can now put in the key words that you want to be given an alert.
6. The alerts will be emailed to you gmail account.
7. No gmail? then create your own gmail account now!

If you had a difficult time with my instructions, then watch this video.

How was this helpful to me?

Some significant alerts are about these:

I got an alert about an article I wrote for a site and saw that a Multiply account copied my WHOLE ARTICLE! I let the editor know about it and they dealt with the blog owner.

I got an alert the other day ab out my photo (from another blog) used without my permission. I got an account with that forum  and saw my pic and I was able to take it down by changing the date of the post and putting the pic in my Flickr account.

There. I hope this article was helpful.

Hubby reformat the pc and my son was worried his game stats would be removed. Son doesn’t want that since he has worked hard to “beat” Formula 1 drivers in the games he plays. No way these stats would be removed.

Good thing there is online backup for files that we were able to use for the meantime.

Hubby was able to tinker with the pc and son gets to save his stats. Everyone is happy. Yey!

To those who rely on their computer files for work-related tasks will have a difficult time retrieving their files especially if there have been no back up.

Emails pertaining to work and those coming from relatives who are eagerly awaiting news about the safety of their loved ones should be archived properly like how it is being done through email archiving services come in handy in emergencies like this.

Have you protected your computer files?
