Help for Publishers

Sites' positions on the front page of Google News and in our search results are determined based on a number of factors, including:

• High-quality original content on your news pages, especially your homepage
• Descriptive and accurate TITLE and ALT tags
• Relevant keywords users would search for to find your articles
• Other relevant sites linking to your site
• Articles reachable from at least one static text link

Publishers can improve their site's ranking by maintaining a Google-friendly website. For more detailed tips on creating a Google-friendly site, please visit our Webmaster Help Center.
