Hello,

This is my first post to this forum. I hope to get a solution here.

I have a News Site. I applied for inclusion in Google News a month back. Few days back Google bot started visiting my site every few minutes. It fetched the latest news and it was there in "Google News" in next few minutes.

All was fine for 12-24 hours. Now I do see Google bot every 5 minutes on my site. It does finds out the latest news and spiders it. The problem is that only 1% of the news posted on my site is actually listed in Google News. Like if I have about 100 news for a day, Google picks up only 1 or at the most 2. It was not like this on the first day.

I did not change anything in my site. No URL format change, no layout change. All that was done is normal feeding of News!

I did send an email to Google but not sure if I will get a quick reply.

Many experts here must know where the exact problem is and I hope I will be helped at the earliest.

Regards

We are seeing the exact same thing on one of our news sites.

"We are seeing the exact same thing on one of our news sites. "

Do you have other sites with google indexing all or more tah 80% news? I want to know if google has a limit that how many news it will pick from one site? Are other sites doing well?

I know another site which produces hundreds of pages of news each day and I only ever see a couple pages from them in the google news results each day. They are one of the top news agencies in this area.
