To display error messages in the Visualforce page add below tag where you want to display the error message.

Visualforce page:

<apex:pageMessages />

Apex Controller:

ApexPages.Message myMsg = new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR,'Error Message.');
ApexPages.addMessage(myMsg); 

(Or)

ApexPages.addMessage(new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR,'Error Message.'));

    When your answer does not provide more specific information than answers already present on the site it's preferable to refer to such answers and duplicate questions. This means we only have to maintain correct information in a single location. Feb 25, 2014 at 10:06

Another approach to show alert on visualforce page.

public class
{
 // value referred on visulforce to make decision
 public boolean returnValue {get; set;}

 // selectoption implementation
 public List<SelectOption> itemList {get; set;}
 public String selectedItem {get; set;}

 // Called from action function
 public void controllerMethod()
 {
    // implement any logic using selectedItem 
    returnValue = !returnValue;
    return returnValue;
 }
}

Alert message can be shown by using oncomplete attribute of actionfuntion by referencing boolean value directly in the javascript function ( showAtert(t)) called by this attribute.

Page

    <apex:page>
       <apex:form>
         <apex:selectList value="{!selectedItem}" onchange="callMethod()">
           <apex:selectOption value="{!itemList}"
         </apex:selectList>
       <apex:actionfunction name="callMethod" action="{!controllerMethod}" oncomplete="showAlert({!returnValue })"/>
      <apex:form>
  <script>
    function showAlert(t) {
      if(t) {
        alert('Correct');
      } else {
        alert('No value entered !');
      } 
    }
  </script>
</apex:page>
