How to appear on Google news to get flooded with traffic and backlinks
Yet another find that most people would turn into an Ebook and sell. Only here on Exposed seo I share this kind of information for free! 
Are you ready for a flood of visitors and tons of backlinks?
The other day I was browsing Google news trying to find a good olympic flame story when I realised how hard it actually is to get your news picked and published. I have not seen a single blog, nor any reports by individuals. It looked like Google would only feed news from other news networks or established news agencies. How would I make sure my story gets published on Google news? Become a news reporter and get a job working for one of the huge news companies? This is impossible for an average person like me and you.
I carried on browsing through various seo news when I saw a little news flash:
Press release? This means I can register with that particular press release distribution agency and submit one myself. My press release will also appear on Google news. This is all good apart from the fact this seemed like a standard “proper”, corporate press release about a big company. How would I make sure my press release is even approved by PR company? Besides, what am I going to say? “Exposed seo makes another blog post on backlinks”? Such press release won’t even see the daylight. On top of that. It is just a bunch of text. Even if I get approved by PR company and make it into Google news, what would the readers do? “Oh great! A blog post! Now what?”
I carried on searching for a better PR company when I bumped into this killer site. That’s what I want to see! This is not a corporate press release for some International company. This is just an article any one can write. Not only that, you can add links to your article with proper anchor text. When articles like this one appear on Google news, readers can simply click on the links and end up on your website!
Do you know how many people read Google News? Do you know how many people have their homepages set to Google News? Do you know how many website syndicate the data that appears on Google News? We are talking about millions of hits here for a quality article. So what are you waiting for? 
You can always save some time and use Press Equalizer software here. Simply fill in the blanks and Press Equalizer software will distribute your press release to a bunch of PR distribution sites for you.

Very nice advice. Thanks.

So, any press release distributor recommendation?
April 25th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
So, how can you appear on Google news? You can’t. Why would they publish your story if you have no credits. Beside that, you know how many stories they get to publish per day? thousands of them, if not millions. Per day. That’s why you pay $x.xxx for a quality press release to a PR company with no guarantee of publishing.
And the press release you posted. Was it published anywhere? Probably not, it doesn’t even have the right structure.

What credits? The article I mentioned ended up on Google News and if you search for its title you will see it mentioned 50 or so time. That’s after 2 days or so. You get many more result if you search for blocks of text within the article because some people did not keep the original title.
Yea, Google News is indeed very popular. Millions a day? Or may be billions? Are you sure its not trillions?
“That’s why you pay $x.xxx for a quality press release to a PR company with no guarantee of publishing.” - Do you?
Too right it does not have the right structure. Its just an article. Did you even read my blog entry?

Interesting article… But its not so easy to get inside google news… Its hand picked I guess… I don’t think its automated

Release which got lots of visitors that will be included in Google News, IMO.

Actually you can submit your site for inclusion in google news…I did sometime earlier but they came back with only one question? Is it a multi author blog that posts great content? Unfortunately I am the only author and they just replied back congragulating me for my good work but as per ther terms it should be multi author blog…
