I always love finding official Google responses to various questions posed to them about search engine optimization. Most of the time they are pretty generic responses, but once in awhile you find a gem.

I have discovered a very simple way to track official Google responses by using their own tool against them. Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.

All you have to do is use Google Alerts and setup a Group alert for various Google employee handles.

By setting this type of alert up you will be able to track all official Google responses and advice in Google Groups.

So far I only know of three Google handles:

• Adam Lasnik
• JohnMu
• Jonathan Simon
• Reid

*Update thanks to John Honeck

• Amanda Camp
• Andrey Stroilov
• Berghausen “Bergy”
• Chark
• Evan T
• Jessica W.
• John Mueller
• Jonathan Simon
• Maile Ohye
• Mariya
• Matt Cutts *Doh can’t believe I missed that one
• Matt D
• Nathan Johns
• Nelson
• Patrick
• Rebecca
• Riona MacNamara
• Sahala
• Susan Moskwa
• Thu Tu
• Wysz

Make sure to use quotes so you get exact match search phrase or you will get some funky alerts.

If you know more Google handles let me know and I will update the post!
