I think it's normal. Google News and Google Organic Search are not the same so that you're in News doesn't have to mean that you will get good listings automatically. For Organic listings you need to build unique content and good links.

@anjan01 – I do not have much experience with Google News but believe News and standard search listings have nothing to do with each other. Google might have approved you as a “news” site but your SEO might still not be good enough to rank? I would suggest working on standard SEO. Keyword rich domain, permalinks, articles, and having quality inbound links with good anchor text.

hi..came to your blog through twitter. Have a newswebsite in wordpress newspostonline.com. It is being indexed by google news at the moment. The problem is that while any aticle posted in appearing in google news within minutes, it does not appear in web search even if I do “my site specific search” thru google. It takes more than a day to come in google web search. Do you think this is normal or there is some problem. Can you help?

@Scott – I don’t use WordPress.com personally (and would recommend you to switch to self-hosting WordPress as well) but just did a quick search and found this article to help you out: support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/ . Good luck!

I’ve tried to submit my sitemap to google, and I keep getting an error message. It says It can’t find it because of the www in front of my URL, but if I don’t include it when I submit my blog, google couldn’t verify it. I’m confused. Does anybody know how I can do this with a wordpress.com blog?

Good post. Most of the tips I am using. But I had first heard of Breadcumb’s.

Going to subscribe to your blog!

Thanks for help!

I would also add (as I made the mistake), don’t use an ‘exotic’ blogging platform. Poorly designed templates over which you have no control can lead you into an SEO nightmare from which the only solution is to port out to something mainstream.

No problem! I use WordPress personally so everything I write about is WordPress focused. You may still be able to find same plugins for Blogger though.

I am glad I could help! Broken Link Checker is very good, runs in the background, and automatically finds broken links and puts a notice in your dashboard about it.
