| Is my site good enough for Google News? (help is greatly appreciated) | Chelsea Hoffman | 6/15/12 3:41 AM | I've been a news writer for quite some time now, focusing on crime analysis for Huffington Post, Examiner and Gather News. I've become rather well-known in regards to my analysis on crime stories that are high profile and low profile, and have worke |
| Re: Is my site good enough for Google News? (help is greatly appreciated) | chrz | 6/15/12 2:25 PM | Hi Chelsea, GN has appeared to prefer organizations over individuals in the past. I thought their guidelines said sites had to have multiple authors, but I can't find that right now. I do know they consider sites on an individual basis though, and yo |
| Re: Is my site good enough for Google News? (help is greatly appreciated) | local_news | 6/15/12 4:28 PM | Hi, Chelsea, I've read your many articles on the websites listed above. I think they are high quality and your website with be a perfect addition to Google News. If your website fits the guidelines then try submitting it for inclusion. |
| Re: Is my site good enough for Google News? (help is greatly appreciated) | Chelsea Hoffman | 6/15/12 8:28 PM | @chrz thank you for the input. I will continue developing the blog while keeping the guidelines in mind. My main issue right now is not knowing how to permalink a 3-digit end number on each post. It's a blogger-powered site so I just don't know how t |
| Re: Is my site good enough for Google News? (help is greatly appreciated) | Chelsea Hoffman | 6/16/12 12:46 AM | the P.s. at the end was in error.. I meant to add that particular tidbit to a different post here in the forums, but forgot that I was responding to a totally diff post.. I'm very tired and agitated these days because of this non-indexing glitch of G |
| Re: Is my site good enough for Google News? (help is greatly appreciated) | chrz | 6/16/12 1:16 PM | I know that GN can index blogger sites, but I'm not sure how the number thing in the urls works. I have read enough on the forums to know that a news sitemap is not possible. Suppose it could be done by hand, but... ugh. Does http://blogger.com have a help |
| Re: Is my site good enough for Google News? (help is greatly appreciated) | Chelsea Hoffman | 6/16/12 1:24 PM | I wouldn't even know how or where to do it by hand! I'll check the blogger forums, but after reading for several days, I'm at my wit's end lol |
| Re: Is my site good enough for Google News? (help is greatly appreciated) | Chelsea Hoffman | 6/17/12 6:21 AM | p.s. @ CHRZ -- you've been an immense help and I really deeply appreciate it. |
| Re: Is my site good enough for Google News? (help is greatly appreciated) | 86753092382 | 6/17/12 6:29 PM | Don't worry Chelsea, chrz is just doing this to try to get into Google News himself. If you read his earlier post, he was complaining why he got rejected and he feels that if he "shows that he helped others" the team will include his website. |
| Re: Is my site good enough for Google News? (help is greatly appreciated) | Chelsea Hoffman | 6/17/12 6:42 PM | I don't see how that's relevant. It does seem like he's genuinely trying to help -- unless you believe he is misleading me for his own gain, but I don't see that. Isn't this forum's purpose for everyone to give and receive help? Personally I just wa |
| Re: Is my site good enough for Google News? (help is greatly appreciated) | chrz | 6/17/12 8:55 PM | Thanks Chelsea. Actually, after much angst, lots of grey hair inducing stress (really), and some much needed help from others on this forum, I made some changes on my site which caused it to be re-included > and I am STILL here doing what I can to h |
| Re: Is my site good enough for Google News? (help is greatly appreciated) | Chelsea Hoffman | 6/18/12 8:35 AM | Thanks Chris glad you got back in GN... now I need to figure my shit out here heh but alas, it probably wont happen because I will not put another contributor on my blog. lol |
| Re: Is my site good enough for Google News? (help is greatly appreciated) | 86753092382 | 6/18/12 12:23 PM | chelsea, you sure do enjoy using "salty" words as part of your vocabulary. i hope you are more professional when it comes to writing articles. |
| Re: Is my site good enough for Google News? (help is greatly appreciated) | Chelsea Hoffman | 6/18/12 12:29 PM | "professional" ? lol troll more, pal :) and read my shit. |
| Re: Is my site good enough for Google News? (help is greatly appreciated) | 86753092382 | 6/18/12 12:58 PM | Chelsea, you come into this forum and complain about how Google News recent indexing problem is destroying your income. You then use words such as “shit” “hell” and etc and complain some more about your problems. And then you call me a troll... Thank |
| Re: Is my site good enough for Google News? (help is greatly appreciated) | Chelsea Hoffman | 6/18/12 1:08 PM | QQ lol looks like someone is having worst issues with Google than the rest of us |
| Re: Is my site good enough for Google News? (help is greatly appreciated) | Chelsea Hoffman | 6/18/12 1:22 PM | I marked this as best answer because you reminded me I could go to the blogger help about this.. which I am going to do right now. I'm really curious as to the coding I will need to do to get my blog to mesh with the requirements they demand (Google) |
| Re: Is my site good enough for Google News? (help is greatly appreciated) | buzzwireless | 6/30/12 1:56 PM | Really? High quality? Like her article about the disappearance of Linnea Lomax where she, out of thin air, comes up with her theory that Linnea may have been abducted or committed suicide? Where did she get that info, in a dream? http://www.examiner. |
| Re: Is my site good enough for Google News? (help is greatly appreciated) | Chelsea Hoffman | 6/30/12 2:00 PM | 0_o two different sites, oh rabid one. I always get a kick out of people who so rabidly oppose the opinions of others that they seek out to rant about it like street corner winos with mental illnesses. It doesn't change anything. It just makes y |

| Re: Is my site good enough for Google News? (help is greatly appreciated) | Chelsea Hoffman | 6/30/12 2:12 PM | lol, well I'm going to duck out now, since this Google products thread turned into a daycare for a troubled child throwing a titty tantrum -- real classy, buzzwireless. Hope you find whatever you're looking for in life ;) Maturity and intelligence do |
| Re: Is my site good enough for Google News? (help is greatly appreciated) | chrz | 6/30/12 2:13 PM | Chelsea, please refrain from reply in a like manner, we will do what we can to take care of this type of thing, Chris |
| Re: Is my site good enough for Google News? (help is greatly appreciated) | Chelsea Hoffman | 6/30/12 2:13 PM | P.s. -- sorry that I just had to report you to Google for abuse. It's not fair for other posters of this forum to have to put up with your hate speech and rabid behavior. Have a good day. |
| Re: Is my site good enough for Google News? (help is greatly appreciated) | Chelsea Hoffman | 6/30/12 2:15 PM | Thank you Chris, like I said.. it's inappropriate to behave like a child for no reason, in an off topic way. People are silly, though, I guess. :) |
