You Can Add Google News to Your Website

February 7th, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

Google has released Google News based element for webmasters & developers. If you are a blogger or a webmaster, you can easily add Google news box in you site.
You can choose related categories under your niche or even mention some specific keywords to get news from. You can easily embed the news box by implementing few lines of code from wizard page or can use the API option.

If you are a niche blogger or a product review blogger or blog about local issues & political issues, this can be quite good. It will add some fresh relevant content to your site. But I would like to see an option to open news link in a new window so that readers don’t have to leave a site.

    Hmm, certainly worth thought and investigation.
    While I like the idea of fresh, up-to-date content on my blog, most news is disaster and negative speculation by alarmists. That I do not want on an upbeat travel and lifestyle blog.

    Cheers,

    Great, but would it slow down the page loading time? It sounds like a widget, which oftens slows down a page’s loading time…

    Nice to have but I’m sure Google won’t consider this as fresh content.

    Nice, a way to be vital even if struck by the overwhelming “lazys”. Our business startup project is going to provide a lot of startup assistance but enew entrepreneurs are like baby birds. I will provide this feed to feed them.

    it sounds great but when you look at the code, you notice that it uses in iframe which is a no-no when it comes to seo optimisation
