Get Your Website on Google News

Google News is currently one of the top five visited news portals in the world, reason enough to get your website exposed to Google News.
Besides direct traffic, many people also end up on Google News through their email alerts, RSS readers and referrals from friends and collegues.
There are also SEO benefits especially if your website is prominently listed in Google News, other websites and bloggers with link to that news article as a citation. Here are some basic rules to get listed:

1 - Original Content: Having original content on your website is essential
2- Multiple Authors: Simple blogs with good content will not get included, because Google News wants multiple authors to "qualify" a website
as a news source.
3- Organization Structure: Google news includes articles only from sources that could be considered organizations; generally characterized
by multiple writers and editors.

Content Management System: Your website CMS should be geared to handle news-type content. Your CMS should have a URL rewrite engine
so that it generates flat-search engine friendly URLs, those with keywords.


To Come: Keeping fresh information to attract new traffic.
