How can you get an article to appear in news.google.com? If you submit something, and it's something really interesting or unique covering a real life event, will it most likely be included? Also, can you submit info like this to press release websites? Would this drive traffic to your website if you are the writer of the article and put it on your website?
It takes a well written press release and at least $30.00 at www.prweb.com I'm afraid. Their free service will not go to google news to the best of my knowledge.
I have tried to add my site as a source to google news, but was rejected. I don't know exactly what they are looking for (my site was relatively new). But hey if you do show up it's almost instant traffic. Skinny
Yes Fryman, many times. Do you need some help with it? Here is a link to an aerospace news release from last year with other releases linked at the bottom - prweb.com archive Let me know... PS I know I had one from my dog site too but checking google news it seems like they must expire at some point. However, here is the original dog press release. For all reading this thread, the Emediawire service from www.prweb.com is what you are looking for to open up the likes of google news.
Interesting, did you notice any traffic thanks to this, or in what way would you say that it helped your site?
Yup. http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&ie=UTF-8&q=reefpedia&filter=0 On Yahoo News: http://news.yahoo.com/s/prweb/20060118/bs_prweb/prweb334393_1
Here are the stats from PRWeb. I didn't see a lot of traffic, but I did this for long-term results so the jury is still out. I didn't expect a lot of return visits for such a niche market. But 2K6 will be the "year of the Wiki" so I'm hoping to be included in other mentions.
I write op-ed articles for several news sites. These get picked up by Google news right away. The Google news links point to the news site article page I submited too though, not directly to my site(s). Still, my bio-box with link appears in the article page and it does generate fair traffic for me. Search Google news for topics that match your site, look at where the article results are from and then find a few that accept submissions. HTH, Scott
Here are some www.prweb.com stats 'World's Ugliest Dog' Picture Contest Offers Prizes & Fun (Oct 6, 2005-today): Statistic Count Reads 87,429 Estimated Pickup 34,525 Prints 29 V-22 Osprey Tiltrotor Video Flies Again at AeroSpaceNews.com (Mar 2, 2005-today): Statistic Count Reads 138,631 Estimated Pickup 2,126 Prints 27 And if you search on the text strings in the release headlines, you can gauge for yourself how much longterm benefit comes from these things.
I submitted my site but it was rejected. I resubmitted specific pages last week...waiting to hear back. I did notice while I browsed that some new stories were from PRweb.
They are very short on details about why they reject and why they accept. My best guess is to have a page or feed that is very clean and easy to spider with exclusive, original content. For the lurkers, I'm speaking about google news here, not prweb.
I was just wondering how can you apply for google news? Is there anywhere on there site where you can apply and every article you submit may appear on there site? I noticed this http://www.tribalfootball.com who are not the best of soccer sites but still some how get on google news while i cant find out how they do it. I am trying to get my site on google news. I want to post regular articles which appear on google news is there any advice someone can give me? Cheers
Google News Info You need original content and easily spidered news-only pages. The content should also not already be covered to death by others. Other than that, like page rank, there are dark and unknown forces at work.
This is my site LINK:www talksoccer.net How can i go about improving it as google news just rejected me for reasons i just dont understand and they have explained. I have seen two soccer sites on there which are far worse then my. Also does being on google news make a huge difference to your traffic?
