Using Google Alerts to be updated about your incoming links

[oneelephantpickle]

If you have a morbid curiosity knowing the number of fresh incoming links and the websites they are connecting from, you ll appreciate this cool trick. Have a report delivered to your inbox with the latest links added to your website favor in the latest google crawl
The trick is to use Google alert http://www.google.com/alerts and in the search term field type link:www.example.com and customize it to suit your preference like once a day or as it happens.

This trick however does not work for links with anchor text.
