Of course it is all about how well you set up your queries and how to well and properly defined they are. But if you know how to perform a query in Google and you do this on a frequent, repetitive basis, then Google Alert is what you are looking for.

Google Alert was conceived by Gideon Greenspan, a PhD student at Israel's Technion and long-time Macintosh developer. Google Alert is not affiliated in any way with Google but does use their Web Services API to perform its searches.

Google Alert was developed using Apache, PHP and lots of XML.

Google API allows 1000 queries a day, so i think it's enough for the application.
