Google News gets Own Sitemap Protocal
November 22nd, 2006 by pamela
Google has launched a new sitemaps protocol for Google News for use by publishers, giving greater control over the content Google crawls for inclusion in the Google News network, one of the largest online news distribution sites available.
Compiling news from more than 4,500 sources, Google News allows users to search the news by keyword or set up alerts based on personal interests.
Publishers currently included in Google News can now use RSS feeds or use a sitemap to direct Google to specific news articles, ensuring that readers get the freshest content available.
Visit Google’s webmaster support for more information on the News Sitemap tool.
