Getting More Traffic and Exposure From Google News Part Three

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

In the previous post in the Getting Traffic from Google News series, we discussed how to get traffic from Google via Google News by leveraging the various ways to appear in a publication that is already featured in Google News.

Now, let’s talk about the holy grail of Google News exposure – having your site BE a source of news for your topic in the Google News database.  If you’d like to be one of the 25,000 publishers that is sharing 1 billion clicks a month, this just might be for you.

Getting More Traffic and Exposure From Google News Part Two

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

In Part One of Getting Into Google News, we talked about the traffic benefits of getting listed in Google News, and how to do so using a press release. Next, we’ll delve into how this can be achieved by having content in a publication that’s already in Google News, and what the advantages and pitfalls are.

Before we do that, let’s address a common concern many people have with focusing traffic efforts on Google properties that aren’t part of the web search.

You may be thinking that anything that doesn’t focus your efforts on getting into Google’s web search is a waste of time, or that diverting some of your limited time into pursuing Google News listings is just not worth it. After all, Google has come out with new services that generated a lot of buzz when they were coming out, then abandoned or failed to develop them.

Getting More Traffic and Exposure From Google News Part One

Monday, January 11th, 2010

Why Do You Need to Be in Google News?

Because that’s where the eyes are.

We know that reading the news is one of the top four things people do online, and that if you want to be found online as well as off, you need to be a part of that activity stream.

Since more people get their news from Google News than CNN, that definitely includes Google News, if there was ever any doubt.

It’s also faster to get into than Google’s web results. While it’s true that you can initiate content discovery by Google in seconds if you know what you’re doing, getting that content into the database still takes anywhere from a few hours to a few days. And to get ranked for the keyword you want? That could take months if it happens at all.

Welcome Kevin!

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Doing our Google Today column, we have my good friend Kevin Singarayar sending us updates several times a week, all the way from Singapore. Google Today is similiar to our former Google Tuesday column, which brings you updates about Google that you as a business owner would find useful, and why, with occassional opinions and witticisms.

If you have questions about Kevin’s column, you can send them to ask@asktinu.com or try him on Twitter. I’ll still be reporting some Google news myself, though Kevin will be our main, consistent source.

Friday, September 8th, 2006

This is just delicious. From the Google News site, you can now scour old archives of various newspapers, as of yesterday.

Users can also narrow their searches to specific time periods or publications of interest.

Was Google Alerts Broken?

Sunday, April 9th, 2006

Did anyone else notice that Google Alerts sent “as-it-happens” were either blank or had strange characters last night? Only one other person so far has told me it was down. If it was though, it’s back up now…
