How to get on Google News

[obvio]

What is the way this works? I understand how you get listed on Googles regualr SERPS, but how does it work for Google news?

prweb.com can get you there but it costs money...

 

[obvio]

Is there anyway to get on news.google.com without paying or is that they only way it is done?

prweb.com also accepts free pr but you need to pass their qualifications

google is slowly weeding out press release sites from it's list of partners after the recent fiasco concerning a kiddo who claimed in a press release that he got a job in google and would be hanging in there on their campus having fun with Larry and all that ... :lol: which was just a PR stunt and not a fact.

Besides that, we all know what 99% of press releases are: shameless-self-plugs It is in fact in the interests of Google to weed out "news stories" (OMG) from PR news agencies (read: self-plug distributing agencies) from it's news index, if they want to have any chance of competing with Yahoo News.

So, getting listed in Google news has nothing to do with page rank, backlinks, or website popularity? It's just something you have to pay for?

I think that an RSS engine on your website, will be inaf to get your website into Google News SERPs
