What for? It's important to get inbound links to your website to get a higher ranking in google. Finding quality places to add your website address is tedious and time consuming, so why not put it on auto pilot using your goggle alerts? The alerts function goes out and searches for content on the web that you are interested in and delivers it to your email box. Why not use some of the keywords of your website content that help your clientele find you, in the alerts?. For example, as a web and graphic designer, I added "custom web and graphic design" to my alerts, "holistic web design" and "holistic graphic design".
I did this but will admit that I went a bit overboard and had the alerts set to arrive whenever something was found, and was annoyingly bombarded by alerts every minute or two. So, I went back and set it to once a week. At this point, I can check out what websites were found and do a bit of marketing for myself by adding my website link to the sites that google alerts found. Most of them were related blogs, which allow comments including your website address. Pretty cool huh?
Get yourself a gmail account and set yourself up on the alerts...

That's true google alerts allows you to set up a search term and have the results of that term sent to you in RSS. You can choose the frequency for your updates, I think maybe once a day is plenty. And once they are set up, you will receive a list of articles and blog posts that contain your keywords.
