Is Being in Google News Getting You More Traffic?

[shaownhasan]

As a website owner, you can go to the Publisher Center to see if your request has already been reviewed . If the Google News team considers your website eligible for inclusion in Google News Feed, you will see the message "Included." If your request is rejected, you will see the message " Review complete: Site rejected ."

There is no guarantee that your site will be listed in Google News.

In reality, it is not that difficult to be admitted to this section of Google, if you focus on the quality of the content (many sites manage to do so by taking care of their articles).

Google News does not provide site-specific feedback for denials, but you can use the Publisher Help Forum to ask other publishers for help and resubmit your request for inclusion after 60 days. The most common usefulness of self employed database reasons for denials are: non-news content, non-original content, site ownership or unclear authorship, content aggregation on the site, and site credibility.


Here's how to check how your content is performing on Google News:

If crawled from the site , the content appears in Google News or links directly to your site. In this case, you can look for referrer values ​​to separate Google News traffic from other traffic.

If you serve licensed content via RSS or AMP feeds, in addition to tracking direct traffic via news.google.com and news.url.google.com referrers, you can set up tracking in Google News Producer to provide more detail and track content that is rendered natively within the Google News Android and iOS apps. Producer-based data and analytics measure the same basic referrer behavior, so these results should not be summed, as this will double the activity count.
