I know a lot of people who use Google Alerts. Here’s one I got this evening that I’ve had for a long time for the keyword “dairy.” I’ve been hearing about how Google is adding blog results and just started seeing them recently.

So how cool is it when your own blog shows up in your Google News Alert? This one contains a link to this post on World Dairy Diary.

Now the question might be, “What if I don’t use the alerts?” Well, I just went to Google and typed in the keyword “dairy” and clicked on News. It brings up the traditional news article links but at the bottom of the page is a choice to “Search blogs” and my post is the 4th result on the first page!

Of course if farmers don’t Google then I assume you really don’t care about this. . .
