Hey For some reason Google News isn't really including many of my articles. It's only choosing a few random ones here and there. It's very odd. My site is wegotthiscovered.com any ideas?
you can't force google to include all your news article, but if you really think they should be on google news you can submit it to google news: http://www.google.com/support/news_pub/bin/answer.py?answer=40787
If Google consider your content is unique & informative, your article will be published in the Google News.
Surely Google run standard on filtering contents and not doing any random selections. Just keep doing articles and strive for improvement on their quality.
You cant force google to index your article but if you do have unique content then google will crawl it automatically. Do one thing bookmark your article on various sites and ping your article, your article will be indexed by search engines.
We used to have all our news included though. Tell me, why an article like this http://thefilmstage.com/2011/06/22/...uillermo-del-toros-sci-fi-epic-‘pacific-rim’/ makes it on but not an article like this http://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/idris-elba-confirmed-pacific-rim/ Same topic and pretty much the same article. Almost every site who posted that story made it onto Google News but for some reason they didn't include ours
I think because the image is clickable, if you make the image non clickable it would be better. Or maybe you do not have news sitemap for your site in webmaster tools? When did you get into google news? how long have you been in there?
