Hi Guys I got into Google News! I am so happy because I work very hard on trying to make it in. I just wanted to know how long did it take to begin indexing your content. Hi ******, Thank you for your note. We've reviewed your site and will be adding it to our index for Google News. The inclusion of your articles should be processed within the next few weeks. If you'd like to verify whether we've started crawling your content, you can use our site operator by entering [ site:your_site.com ] and clicking "Search News." Once your site has been processed, we encourage you to submit a Google News sitemap in order to optimize the indexing of your articles. You can find more information about creating a News sitemap in our Publisher Help Center: http://www.google.com/support/news_pub/bin/topic.py?topic=11666 Please keep in mind that the inclusion process may take up to a few weeks, and you'll only be able to submit a News sitemap once this process is complete. While we'll strive to include as many of your news articles as possible, we can't guarantee the inclusion of your content in Google News. Thank you for providing your articles to Google News. Regards, The Google Team
I don't know as yet because I just got in like 20 mins ago.But from my friend sayed it did for him an getting on the front page can get you like 80 visitors a second but I will let you know.
Wow that's great, congratulations! I recently applied for my news site, let's see what happens... Have you created a sitemap for your news articles?
Yes, it helps for traffic no doubt I've published by Press Release for a site once (a server here @ DP run by David9) and it got a fair amount of traffic from all these Press Release Submission sites (Which for some reason included Google news) I received about 120-130 UV/s but as it dies down the ranks it eventually stopped. However if you have a submission feed for articles you'll keep getting on that front page and hopefully build a solid source of traffic M3rC PS - Congrats on getting accepted!
That's great. I've never thought of going after google news submission before. Can you share more details on what is the exact requirements like?
Just to bump this thread, I am looking too to see what the approximate requirements are, over and above the obvious technical requirements. I have two blogs that I could submit, for instance.
so finally you got approved for google news..congrats man!! Your traffic stats would increase incedibly..
Google News have such high PR. When it publish your article, very big chance to be appeared on first page of google. That's Traffic. WOW..
That is great! Gives me an idea for future ventures! Better get some VPS hosting if you don't already have it, because I would think (I might be wrong) that 80+ visitors a second could crash shared hosting.
