Find Out What's Being Said About You Online

[Matthew Sherborne]

How to see what other people are saying about you or your business in real time...


To get in on a discussion that happened recently about you or your product and not months later can often be quite difficult from the regular search engine results. Luckily, due to a new breed of Alexa type Web 2.0 sites this is no longer true.


A leading real time research tool is called URLfan and it is great for finding out what people are talking about in real time. URLfan is a website tool that allows you to find the current buzz on blogs and discover what’s being talked about and referenced.


To start using URLfan just enter a URL into the search box to determine what is being said about your website or anything you’re interested in researching.


To get this information about what bloggers are talking about on the internet, URLfan analyzes RSS feeds and parses information from all over the internet. Using this information they determine which sites are receiving the most attention and are the most popular.


This discussion search engine is not based on the amount of traffic the site receives, instead it compiles the conversations being posted and ranks the sites based on the amount of real time discussions.


Now you can see what is being said online before the conversation is finished.

Oh, I almost forgot to add they also have a cool top 100 ranked sites based on the amount of incoming RSS feeds. It’s a pretty cool buzz indicator to see what bloggers are referencing.
