Approved in Google News but Not Showing

5 replies
Hi there, I am facing an issue for which I am not getting any solution.
I have started a tech news blog in September 13th 2020, I write 30 news by September 20, and applied for Google News.
It was approved in Google News in 22nd September.
When someone search with website name - it is showing as news source and showing articles there.
But outside that channel no news is showing anywhere and I am not getting any visits from News.

Anybody knows how to fix this ?

Note :

1) I am publishing daily 3 latest news, written myself no Copy Paste.
2) Website has adsence approved also, although not much clisks due to less visitors.
3) 1 AMP Warning in Search Console, trying to fix that now.
4) Many keywords ranked, 90% Visitors are from US.

    So you just put up a tech news blog.

    Question 1 - Did you research your competitors ? How many other Tech News blogs are out there ?

    Question 2 - Did you consider how you are going to get traffic to you blog ?


    Your post sounds like you put up a website less then a month ago and you expect instant results. If that's the case. The Internet does not work that way. Your site needs just went live a little over 2 weeks ago. Google is just beginning to rank it. Now you are going to have to put in the work to promote your site to get visitors. Which leads back to question #2

    Are you hoping for instant Adsense income? Is that why you posted this question in the first place ? That would help us give you some answers.

      Hi DWolfe,
      Thanks for getting back to me.

      First of all, let me clear myself, I am not misunderstanding website as a get rich quick scheme and not working towards that.

      Now to answer your questions -

      Question 1 - Yes I did my research. There are over a million tech blogs, and I have identified around 40 as my primary competitor in my micro niche.

      Question 2 - Did you consider how you are going to get traffic to you blog ?
      No that part I am not clear, so far I am sharing on socials and thats getting me around 30-40 visitors daily.
      Also around 100 keywords ranked in Google so everyday getting 10-15 organic visitors from Google.

    Getting traffic from Google News is very different from SEO for your website.

    Even a few years ago the sites that came up in Google News were posting a minimum of 10+ amazing articles per day. Just getting 'accepted' or 'approved' for GN's does not automatically mean that your articles or website will ever be shown in the search results. It is not always the case but usually Google is wanting to present the cream of the crop content for its GN's readers.

    If Google News is your ultimate goal for traffic you may want to consider outsourcing additional fresh and consistent content from exceptional writers.

    I was to say that writimg the articles yourself is no guarantee that they will be featured. Why not try to hire an expert and see what happens?

    Basically, trying to build income from a blog based on free traffic from Google is a daunting task.

    Fifteen years ago, you could do so quickly, within a year. But today, it can take years, and doing it solo, as was pointed out, is a formidable if not impossible task.

    Another drawback to this model is that Google can and will pull the rug from under you anytime it changes its algorisms or rules. You have absolutely no say.

    Getting approved for Google News is simply getting approved to give Google your very best content with the hope they may use it. Mostly, they won't.

    This conclusion is based on many years of experience. Not trying to discourage you, but, for me, this is not a viable way to make money for a solo blogger.
