I have not gotten Google News Alerts since 7/28. Has anyone else experienced this?

Nope, I get mine all the time. Maybe it is the subject of the news alert that is not working. What are your subject(s)?

Includes "internet marketing", "search engine marketing", "internet advertising" and several others. Seems odd that it just stopped like that since everyday I would get something on these search terms.

It might be obvious, but, did you look in your spam folder?

Since the news alerts are still in BETA this can happen once in a while. One time one of my e-mail addresses went an entire weekend without getting any alerts and then the following Monday evening they all came in at once. Another e-mail address received all of the alerts periodically throughout the weekend. Both addresses were set to "as it happens" so its kinda weird, but I guess thats why it's still in beta :)
Have you tried searching Google news, then sorting by date to see if there have been any new alerts for those keywords? If so, try removing the alerts and re-adding them.

Interestingly I just hit the "Remove this News Alert" link from one of the alerts and it confirmed that the news alert was removed. So their system appears to show that my information is still there.
