Although you can input many wonderful phrases make sure you get specific. The purpose of this tool is to get you new content that is published on the web. The fact that these articles show up in this tool lets you know they are published and indexed in the Google Search Engine. Why is this good for you to know? That means that these are authoritative sites that rank in Google. Google is not going to send you junk alerts. That would ruin their reputation.

Caution About Leaving Backlinks
If you intend to use this method to spam websites then you are wasting your time. Webmasters know about spam and it is possible that your comment will never be published in the first place. However if you engage that webmaster in meaningful dialog it is to their benefit to give you a link to your article. This helps them and you in the Google Search Engine.
