What is certain is that you don't get every post containing the term. Maybe Google "tailors" them to your likes based on what it has learned about you? Wouldn't surprise me.

However, something strange is going on with the Google system (can't comment on Yahoo right now). A friend who also receives the alerts gets different citings than I receive, and we both subscribe to the same keywords. When she blogs, she receives an alert to her own post, but I don't receive notice about her post. Again, we subscribe to the exact same keywords. How effective can this be if all posts aren't cited in everyone's alert system? I’ve subscribed to these alerts, through Google and Yahoo, for as long as I can remember.

A few days ago they started to roll in. Now I know why. Thanks for the tipoff. I wondered why Google Alerts never covered items in my blogs. A few days ago they started to roll in. Now I know why.

For certain types of info gathering though the blog news will be great. You can also chose whether or not you want to have the blog alerts added to news alerts.
