How to Monitor URLs
Several websites offer a free online service that can track the changes on websites you are interested in. For example, blogs, news websites and shopping websites all have content that you may want to keep track of. Instead of navigating to each website every day, you can use the online service to monitor the URL of the website you want to track and be notified only when a change occurs.
