    I used to own a Google News site that was bought from a person who worked at rawstory.com

    From what I gathered, the basic criterias for inclusion in Google News were

    1. There had to be multiple contributors i.e. more than 1 person who writes the news
    2. The news must be updated on a regular basis
    3. The news stories must be written in a journalistic style.

    My site was a liberal political blog of which there were only 3-5 regular contributors including the previous blog owner.

    If you could get your site into Google News, you will find that people will be willing be pay at least $3500 to $5000 for it without any revenue.

    Even the content for the news must be unique & 300-500 words.

    Yes, it is not easy to get accepted into Google News.

    Do you mean that we have to wait for a while or we can decide that our site is not passed QC?
