Since my website is now included in Google News I have seen some quick changes: * Each new page created in my site gets indexed in just 3 minutes in Google. * My SERP increased suddenly * I can see more backlinks for my newly created article which in included in google news. These are just the changes I saw in one day. I am sure I'll see more.
The Pro, I have definitely seen Google News help with traffic but I am curious by what method you got into Google News (if you wouldn't mind sharing at least the summary). Did you submit a press release? Thank you for your time.
No mate, you need to contact google for that by suggesting your site in google news. There are some strict rules too. Go to news.google.com and see the footer links.
Great to hear there some justification on how effective and helpful being included in Google news..Maybe we will include that in our strategy..
Actually Google doesn't include all sites in their news site because their inclusion is not computerized. Google News Team mebers review each submission. It's somehow like the dmoz system that why the quality of Google News is great. Many websites syndicate google news RSS feeds hence your included site will get many backlinks .
I have been approved time and time again for Google News and have showed many people how to do it as well. A lot of my students were very frustrated because they were turned down time and time again, but after using my methods, they were approved one after another.
