Google introduced new metatags for News

Hi Friends,

Anybody heard about that Google introduced new metatags for news page? I read somewhere today about following.

Google introduced new metatags named news_keywords and you can use as like this.

<meta name="news_keywords" content="World Cup, Brazil 2014, Spain vs Netherlands, soccer, football">

Anybody used this metatags?

 

Ya last week google introduced this meta keyword tag. I read this whole story on search engine land.

 

I think Now Google will give some value of meta keyword tag.

 

With the amount of content published online seeming to expand dramatically every year, Google says it’s experimenting with two new meta tags that it hopes will help it identify the original sources of online content. They’re called syndication-source and original-source and here’s a look at what they do and how publishers can use them.

What Is Syndication-Source?

Web sites that syndicate their content to others can use the syndication-source meta tag to give Google a signal that theirs is the one that should be included in Google News. In a perfect world, the tag will be used by both the site that syndicates its content, as well as the site that receives and publishes the syndicated content from another source. The tag looks like this:

meta name=”syndication-source” content=”http://www.somedomain.com/article1.html”
​

What Is Original-Source?

The original-source meta tag can be used by publishers wanting to claim their article as the original version. In a sense, it’s somewhat like the rel=”canonical” tag, which can be used to indicate the canonical version of similar web pages (more about the canonical tag below).

Search Engine Land, for example, could use the original-source meta tag on this article (and others) to indicate that ours — not the various sites that scrape our content or reference it in other ways — is the original version.

Similarly, Google says this meta tag can also be used in the same way publishers link to other sites. For example, since this article is also referencing an announcement on the Google News blog, we could use the original-source tag similarly to how we cite them via a link.
In fact, Google says you can cite several different sources with multiple versions of this tag if you want to credit each one that led to the article you’ve published. The tag looks like this:

meta name=”original-source” content=”http://www.somedomain.com/article1.html”
​

 

Thanks for share effective information.

 

Yes! Google introduced new meta tags for News and the benefit of using it to empower news writers to express their stories freely while helping Google News to properly understand and classify that content so that it’s discoverable by our wide audience of users.

 

Hi

As per the recent update google has announced a meta keywords tag just for news articles. But this only works for news publishers that are sources in google news.

Which will be like:
meta name=”news_keywords” content=”World Cup, Brazil 2014, Spain vs Netherlands”

 

Yup Everyone knows Google stopped using the meta keywords tag ages ago. but google introduced new meta news_keywords metatag.
