    I know some members here have been accepted into Google news with a simple blog. I'd like to know how you guys have been getting accepted and what the requirements are. I have a feeling an RSS feed is the big clincher.

    I requested inclusion with my blog, but they told me you need some sort of "editorial control" and more than one person writing on the blog to be added.

    good question! I was about to ask the same thing. I've been looking into it for a while and have come up short. :(

    toocoolforschool, did they tell you how you would show proof of "editorial control" and how did you inquire Google about it?

    Hmm, wonder what they mean by editorial control...

    Does that mean he who submits it is an editor of the blog?

    After I submitted my site for review, it took them a week to get back to me. This is what they wrote:

    So that means your site needs to have more than just you as the writer; there needs to be a writing staff and an editor.

    I guess their news section has standards. Unlike ever other section. :lol:
