I am a big time user of Google Alerts, I just don’t use them via email – but rather via RSS. Some users are reporting in both a DigitalPoint Forums thread and WebmasterWorld thread that Google Alerts seemed to have just gone a bit out of hand.

I’ve also been getting some peculiar Alerts again – and in some cases they are things that should have been sent a while back. I’m not seeing any impact on the SERPs from these new pages, however.

Like I said, I don’t get these alerts via email – so I don’t really notice the issue. Do you?
