I'm sure there are tons out there and I wanted to create a list for personal use and so other people can relate to it. Example of search tricks are ;:

link:example.com
related:example.com
?ukasz Rogala: using link:example.com is sooo outdated. :)
Dave Elliott: big fan of intitle:"keyword" e.g ;intitle:"Dave is awesome"
Federico Sasso: the ones I use most are inurl:, intitle:, and site: (this last one often with wildcard *)
Dave Elliott: site: is awesome. Recently discovered you can use for example site:guardian.co.uk seo in google alerts, which makes it really powerful!
?ukasz Rogala: Google Alerts still working??? :D
Dave Elliott: i'm having to get a lot more specific with it, but yeah just about! certainly wouldn't use it for general terms/keywords but company name alerts and with the site search thingy it works pretty nicely still.
Gregory Kristan: I like putting keywords in quotes with the (~) symbol to show words that are similar ;
