Hahn Wed, 07 Jan 2009 17:34:22 +0000 http://www.musicianwages.com/?p=1918#comment-408 Hi David - That might work. But what I would put is: <a href="http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&q=musician%20|%20musicians%20|%20music%20%22chapel%20hill%22&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wn" rel="nofollow">musician | musicians | music "chapel hill"</a> You only need quotation marks if the search term is more than one word, like "chapel hill." The punctuation " | ' is that same as OR. Click on that and check out what that gives you. Hi David -

That might work. But what I would put is:

musician | musicians | music “chapel hill”

You only need quotation marks if the search term is more than one word, like “chapel hill.” The punctuation ” | ‘ is that same as OR.

Click on that and check out what that gives you.

You have inspired me to set up some additional, more specific Google Alerts. To set up multi word Google Alerts do I need to use quotation marks? To set up an alert for music happenings in my town would I set up "Chapel Hill", "Music" OR "Chapel Hill Music"? Thanks for the great tips Dave.
