Getting Included in Google News
(Page 1 of 4 )
Google News can send tons of traffic and help you gather a lot of inbound links. In this article we discuss Google News editorial and technical requirements.
Editorial Guidelines
Content Requirements
Content must be 100% original. Google News does not support news scrapers. You can sign up for PR wires to track news updates from around the world (along with the clutter of press releases). Having buddies on the “inside” also goes a long way, since you can be the one to break hot stories (Search Engine Land, Wall Street Journal, etc).
Authors/Editors
Google requires more than one author for a website, so if you’re a one-man blog you won’t get into Google News. The number of authors/editors required is not specified, so all we can do is guess. Barry Schwartz of Search Engine Round Table managed to get into Google News with five writers/editors and two featured writers, so you need at least several people.
Some forums state that the minimum required number of editors is three, but those are merely guesses.
