Is it true?

How can it help to track competitor's keywords? My competitor's site has a high traffic and I am really willing to divert that traffic to my site.

Actually, Google alerts is a kind of service offered by Google which sends you email notification about the updates for the specific industry you are interested in You can subscribe to Google alerts for free and you will receive a notification about the updates in the specific industry

Hence, if you subscribe to web hosting, you will receive notifications about the updates in the web hosting industry which will also include updates about keywords with most value etc and hence you can then optimize your sites using some optimization techniques for those keywords which will give you good rankings in search engines for specific keywords and more sales which is what you are looking for

Google Alerts and monitoring competitor's site are two different things altogether. Both function in a different way as the later requires lot of research to get the required information.

These are different concepts but Google alerts can definitely help you to get some information about your competitor's movements etc

Google alerts actually gives information about the new things in the industry and hence if you subscribe to hosting industry, you will get information about the latest things in the industry and hence if there is an update in the industry, you will receive it which will definitely be good for you After all, if you are in the hosting industry, almost all the other hosting companies are your competitor's

Also Google Alert can be used to keep track on latest news about your niche competitors and to generate ideas for fresh content.
