Hi, I have applied for Google news for one of my news blog 10-11 days ago, but I haven't received any reply yet from Google news team. I just want to know how much time they take to approve a blog for Google news?
No one is really sure as it will depend on and vary with the number of applications received. Can take a week or so sometimes. If you applied with the site(s) in your signature, then assume you will never be approved.
Google News team takes 7-10 working days time usually, but some time it also depend upon the number of applications received.
Google News is constantly going through different websites, I would wait at least 30 days. If you still haven't heard anything you should be able to re-submit.
Nobody know when the Google sniffer will discover your blog news, anyway usually it takes about 10 and 15 days, this is what I understood with my experience.
Google is a law unto it's self. If your content is good they will normally approve within 7-10 workings days, however if most of your site is scrapper content it's unlikely you'll get approved. I hope it works out for you :|)
I think that the process of reviewing of application can last up to two months. So you have to wait and monitor your Email inbox.
WTF has the Google crawler got to do with the approval process of getting a site included in Google News?
Go to partnerdash.google.com/partnerdash/d/news#p:id=pfehome and check the status of your review. I submited a site of mine and was waiting for a response from then, but whin i Checked my status here: partnerdash.google.com/partnerdash/d/news#p:id=pfehome beside my site I saw "Review Complete: Site Rejected" but never got a response mail about the rejection. Hope this is not the case with you but its better to check once.
