Track Your Favorite Keywords with Favebot
March 24, 2008 – 4:41 pmThe old way to keep track of something on the Internet is to visit a web page and search for specific keywords on that site. Rinse and repeat the same procedure on another site over and over again in another endless cycle. This method works nicely but not really the smartest way to do it. Solution: track your favorite keywords with Favebot.
Favebot is a tool that you can use to track specific, favorite keywords of yours automatically. Keywords can be anything from tech news, my chemical romance, gardening, make money online etc. To track a keyword, simply create a “New Tracking” rule and enter a keyword that you want to track. Next, you will need to select your search categories, which cover items ranging from blogs, books, dvds, events, musics, news, podcasts, pictures or videos. Select fewer categories to be more specific or vice versa to have Favebot returned a broader variation of search results.
Favebot then will search and list down all listed items related to keywords that you have entered. You can click on a keyword to read all of them from the “Discoveries” tab OR subscribe to the keyword’s RSS feed, whichever is most comfortable to you. You can also use the RSS feed to display discovered contents on your blog, Facebook, MySpace and others.
For example, here are my results on tracking the “Digsby” keyword, one of the popular IM and social bookmarking clients around. Results returned are pretty decent, but a few “spammy” or irrelevant items are expected from tools like this. To get better results, Favebot recommends that you insert more than 1 keyword, preferably 2 to 4.
Favebot is not a perfect tool but it really makes tracking favorite keywords easier than before. Bloggers will absolutely find this useful to track keywords from the same niche. With Favebot, the results come to you!
Another alternative to Favebot: Google Alerts.

I have tried Google Alerts before, this looks pretty decent service. BTW how many spammy stuff is it returning and how many of them are coming up in the top list?
