Google really gives you all the tools you need to succeed.
* Google Alerts gives you an RSS/email when its crawlers found something that matches your query
* Google Sheets processes that RSS feed as well as scrape data from webpages using =importxml
* Google App Script automates it
Example uses:
* Instant email notifications when a niche related article goes viral - Create an alert for $keyword, put RSS feed into Sheets, scrape twitter to see how many time those URLs were tweeted within the last hour/day/week, email yourself when a page surpasses X tweets.
* Pagerank sculpting - input sitemap.xml into Sheets, scrape hyperlinks that are inside each page's <article>, count how many hyperlinks go to a page, sort in ascending order.
* See whose the *real* authority in your niche - create an alert for $keyword, put RSS feed into Sheets, scrape hyperlinks inside of <article>, tally up which domains are getting the most links for the week, go email them next week for guestblog/link.
this shit's gold.
