How To Get Listed In Google News – If you guys have been following this blog for at least the last month or so, then you would have read my post How I Plan On Getting Accepted Into Google News. Well, it is official, one of my sites got accepted! (Not DatMoney)

It was a little bit of a relief but this morning I received an e-mail from “The Google Team” that started off like:

Hi Jason,

Thank you for your note.

Great news! This message is to confirm that we’ve reviewed and added your site to Google News. The inclusion of your articles should be processed within the next few days. Please retain this message and refer to it should you have any issues with your site in Google News.

Of course, the rest of the e-mail went into technical stuff that I need to do to make sure my articles are getting picked up.

So, what did I do to get accepted into Google News? Well, if you didn’t read my previous post that I linked to above, here’s a quick overview on what I did.

Quick Outline On How To Get Into Google News

- Created a professional looking news site
- Created an “About” page showing a list of writers
- Created a “Contact” page
- Created a “Privacy Policy” page
- Recruited a team that would post articles
- Posted at least three times a day
- Submitted to Google News to inclusion

Although, there are more details than that, this is just a quick outline on what I did. Eventually I’ll end up writing an eBook or some sort of case study going into every detail/step-by-step once I’m getting the traffic and revenue from Google News.

It’s funny because I know a few people who have their sites included in Google News and they have told me nothing but good news from it. Recently I had a discussion with a buddy of mine who probably just got his site included into Google News a month or so ago and he said he has been receiving around 50,000 unique visitors on a daily basis ever since.

How I Plan On Quadrupling My Adsense Income

Based on my stats on how to make $100/day from Adsense this should at least quadruple my earnings on that site alone.

Here’s how I estimated… first, I took an estimated 50k unique visitors on a daily basis (based on a friends similar site) and say three percent of those people click on Adsense ads. That would mean 1,500 have clicked on the Adsense on the site.

Now each click can vary, as we all know, but I’ll just take an estimate on the clicks that made me $100/day. The last time I went over that amount was on Sunday (I didn’t check yesterday’s stats) and it was around 400 clicks.

Now if I divide 1500 (estimated clicks per 50k visitors) by 400, I’ll get 3.75. If I multiply 3.75 by 100, I’ll get 375 which could potentially be my daily Adsense revenue. And if you multiply that amount by 30 days in a month, that would equal $11,250!

I know this is all estimates but you can always set your goal you should be hitting. On top of that, I’m not even including any other streams of revenue such as CPM ads, affiliate links or whatever else.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure I won’t be making over five figures monthly just off that one site but not only can I hope, I can actually work to hit that goal similar to getting the site included into Google News. :D

But I’ll keep you guys updated and if it becomes successful, then you’ll probably see a case study/eBook in the near future!

    Jason,

    That’s really damn well excellent for you! I subscribed to your feed through email but didn’t receive password for the $100 Adsense post.

    I’m really curious!

    I wish you success.

    Moon,

    Yeah, sorry, I don’t have an autoresponder set up yet so as of right now I’m doing it all manually. Shoot me an e-mail (same one you used to subscribe) and I’ll get you the password and the eBook I just wrote. :D

    Congratulations. That is super awesome. I wish I could be on Google News…except none of my sites are related. Anyway, 5 figures for adsense would be a sweet deal.

    One question…Do you think you make more on adsense than you could with affiliate linking?

    Nice one,
    I hope your goals work out for you – I like the way you
    calculated your goals.
    I just can’t fall in love with adsense – I am a design fanatic – and those ads look just butt-butt ugly !
