Traffic is the lifeblood of a website. But you need something to encourage visitors.

How about up to date news from your industry - but what do you use as source material?

Google news alerts, come on down!

Google will email you notifications when something is published with keywords you specify.

You can refine it to blogs, news, videos or 'comprehensive'.

Select news, as this will give you world-wide headline news - i.e. what is topical and of interest to your visitors.

Specify how often you want to be notified.

From there you can create articles about relevant topics that are deemed 'newsworthy' to the media.

News outlets keep a keen eye on what is useful to their readers, so it's a good bet that it will be interesting to your audience as well.

You can either summarise the contents of the news or comment on it.

Or just tweet it if you want.

Easy as.
