Publishers Not Getting Rankings They Want from Google News
15th March 2009
Is Google News dropping publishers from their index? In a recent SEO article, several posts were noted from the Google News Help forum. There are a handful of threads from upset publishers, including two large threads here and here. Jason Dowdell, Founder & Editor of MarketingShift.com was one of those publishers who noticed his site being dropped by Google News. Dowdell’s site had been in Google News for over four years now and as of today, but now his content is no longer getting picked up. In addition, Dowdell was quoted in the article saying, he no longer sees the “News” tab in Google Webmaster Tools Diagnostics area. To me, that is a clear sign that his site is no longer syndicated by Google News. As you can see, the last article indexed by Google News from MarketingShift.com was from yesterday, even though, MarketingShift.com has new articles today.
Dowdell may be afraid that Google is ranking the smaller sites and not valuing the smaller publishers enough. “Google doesn’t value the small publishers who work hard to produce quality content day in and day out.” Jason told me that he, “personally spent $25k a year for the past 4 years on MarketingShift, by employing full time writers because we wanted to make sure we remained in Google News and abided by their quality content guidelines.” Mr. Dowdell suspects that Google is dropping the small publishers to help “save the newspaper business.”
Nationwide Marketing has been unable to verify that Google is devaluing publishers.
