Google News Expands Help Center For Publishers

Jul 19, 2007 at 9:32am ET by Barry Schwartz

The Google News Blog announced they have expanded the Google News help section for publishers.

The new help section has a wealth of information for those interesting in submitting content to Google News, as well as troubleshooting documents on issues with content already in Google News. I should also note that Google News has a Google Groups discussion forum with live representatives from Google to help publishers.

While the new Help additions are a little better and might even make it easier for some sites to get included, I think we would all be better served if Google News were to put in a filter to ensure that the same stories are not continuously being sent out.

Some days I will get the same stories with the same content from several different sources. I don’t know if the Top Ten ranking filter will prevent this from happening but man oh man, there are days I think about cancelling my alerts because of the constant duplication of stories. Time will tell.
