Accepted to Google News
Earlier this evening, I received word from Google that this site would be included in their technology news site. This is significant because this site has been submitted multiple times before but never qualified. One of the more rigid requirements for Google News inclusion is that a site not be single author. In addition, it’s clear from their requirements is that they are looking for media properties, with a bent toward journalism, and not simply “blogs” (for instance, they require a defined editorial hierarchy).
This won’t mean a lot for regular readers of the site. We have not been included because we’ve drastically altered what we do to conform. In fact, just the opposite, this site continues to evolve and the Google News inclusion rubber stamps who we’ve become.
It may take some time for Technosailor.com stories to appear in the index, though, so we carry on as usual.
Pick up your copy of the WordPress Bible, a wildly popular resource for beginners and experts alike.
