How to configure Google Alerts for different languages

Google Alerts use the same search syntax as when you use Google Search. So if you don't want certain words or phrases appearing, you can exclude them with the minus (-) operator.

Here's an example that alerts to traffic, but excludes those that concern safety:

Search query: traffic -safety

To exclude a phrase, wrap it around quotes. In your case it would be:

Search query: billpg -"bill page"

It's not currently possible to use Google Alerts for images. However, there are a few options that you may want to try (not all are automatic):

• Who Stole My Pictures is a Firefox extension that allows you to target an image for a reverse search on a selection of search engines
• Image Raider is an automated reverse-image search tool – spend a few minutes adding your photo or image catalogue, and we’ll let you know when we find any other websites using them.
• TinEye is a reverse image search engine. You can submit an image to TinEye to find out where it came from, how it is being used, if modified versions of the image exist, or to find higher resolution versions.

There are likely a number of others; here's the google search I used.
