How I Plan To Get Accepted Into Google News - Before I go through the details on how I plan on getting into Google News, I’m actually referring to one of my other sites and not DatMoney. I wouldn’t attempt to try to get DatMoney into Google News simply because this blog isn’t news related.
I have a relatively new site which is focused on entertainment type stuff. Of course, the site covers more than just that but the main theme surrounding it is entertainment. The reason why I started this site is to get included into Google News as well as blog about things I’m interested in, work with a team and hopefully make some good money along with it.
But in addition to that, it’s always good learning the process and gaining knowledge and experience in case I try to do this with another site.
Why Google News?
There’s a couple of simple reasons why. Obviously, Google is the majority of the internet and just getting into Google News would help just about any site spike in traffic on a daily basis… If you do it right. Basically, our team will focus on blogging on main topics people are searching for on a regular basis.
For instance, everyone seems to love celebrity gossip. We will blog about those topics daily and if you happen to search for that in Google, you may very well appear as the first search result in the “Google News” section.
And everyone should know that being one of the top three search results for a popular topic is gold.
Traffic gold = money gold.
Though, I read Google News only indexes your past two days worth of content so our team would very well blog daily to make our money and keep busy.
Plus, I have a few friends that have sites listed in Google News and tell me it’s definitely worth it if you put time into it. Also, a friend tells me that if you get the number one spot, the traffic spikes so much that it would crash a dedicated server!
I guess it may be worth it to crash my dedicated server for a little while because if the traffic spikes like that, I’m sure in that one day I would have probably made enough money to pay off my dedicated hosting for the entire year.
How I Plan On Getting Accepted Into Google News
Basically, you have to read their entire list of things to do to get accepted. There’s a lot of details and you can find it on their site. But these are some of the main things I’m going to do to get accepted. It’s nothing new because everyone is on Google’s site but some people just tend to overlook a few small things that may get you rejected.
Professional Website – I found a very clean and professional looking theme that fits what I’m doing with my entertainment site. But not only that, you also have to make sure you have an authors page, contact information, privacy policy, sitemap, link to Google, adjusted permalinks and so on and so forth.
I think those are the main ones but you also need a sitemap specifically for Google News. Luckily, there’s a simple Wordpress plugin for that.
A Team Of Authors - Google News will not accept individual author websites and I believe the more authors you have that post good content regularly, the higher your chances are with being accepted.
I have a few people on my team already who are working on this site with me but if you are interested, shoot me an e-mail. Though, I’m only looking for a few dedicated bloggers who are willing to blog about interests related to entertainment. It could be just about anything, really, but I would need some people are can post at least a few times a week.
Your Google Adsense would show up on your own posts so if you write about something that gets on the top search results then I’m sure you’ll make some damn good money.
Showing Our Authors On Site - Speaking of a team of authors, I heard it’s key to highlight who’s blogging on your site. For instance, you have to create a page listing all of your authors. In addition, I believe you have to make sure the name of the author has to be displayed on every post they write.
Again, GN doesn’t accept sites without a group of authors and I’m sure they have plenty of ways to check if you’re trying to trick them.
Lots of Content – You need lots of content and I believe each post should be at least 200 words. On top of that, there should be at least three posts being published on a daily basis.
Backup Plan
You know I always say “never put all your eggs in one basket” and although this site should have no problem getting into Google News (whether it’s the first time submitting it or second), you always have to have a backup plan.
I mean, I plan on making money by hoping to win the lottery but just incase that doesn’t work out right, I also have a job and I’m an internet entrepreneur.
But right now I’m also paying someone to build links for the site. And I mean, a lot of links and so far it’s working out pretty good. Well, as good as it gets for a pretty new site.
Conclusion
Again, I’m pretty confident that this site will get into Google News. Even if it doesn’t the first time around, they should tell us what to change and resubmit it.
If anyone is interested in joining the team with potential of making lots of money, feel free to contact me and we’ll see if you’re a right fit with our current team.




I wish you HUGE AMOUNTS OF SUCCESS with your new venture!

HI Jay, Excellent read and I think it’s great that you have a goal of getting on Google News. Hey who wouldn’t want that? But I didn’t realize that you had to have a team or of all the requirements that Google requires of you. If anyone can do this it will be you guys, I’d love to know the name of your Entertainment Blog as I do and always have enjoyed reading them. In fact I’ve bought a pretty cool domain name for Hollywood type blog that I’m hoping to sell. So let us know how you are doing and when can we see your new blog!! To your Success. jj

This sounds fantastic man! I am thinking I could possibly be a an author with you but I work 10am-6pm M-F Pacific time.
If I could publish the stories at night maybe it might work.

I love your opening comment under “backup plan”… don’t put all of your eggs in one basket…
This article really was an eye opening, I never knew how blogs and sites got featured by Google. I doubt I will ever get my blog to that point, kind of an ego thing for me to write my own stuff there. Maybe I shall start another one later specifically following your guidelines for profits. Would be an interesting challenge, maybe you could walk me through it and use me as your “anyone can do it… even this guy” example. LOL
