A news sitemap is not a requirement but it is strongly suggested so you
can use webmaster tools to see errors with content in google news. With
that said, I took a look at your site and noticed right off that I
cannot easily see any author information for any of your authors. The
guidelines clearly state that GNews expect a new site to show who its
authors are. I see no writers listed (I could have missed it but if I
did then it is possible Google did also) and when I click on the author
name in an article I still get no details as to who the writer is. If
you haven't taken a look at the guidelines, a link is below. What i
would suggest doing is going through each one and trying to see any way
possible GNews might think you don't comply with it. It take a little
brainstorming but can pay off. When you re apply, be detailed and give
the GNews team your findings on each guideline. the more info you give
them, the better chance you have at being accepted. Here is the link to
the guidelines: http://support.google.com/news/publisher/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=40787I
was in Packenham a few weeks ago, I love it there. It was nice to see
some cool weather fora change. Hope this helps and if you need anything
else just ask here in the forum. |
