Google news is a cool little tool for keeping you informed about what is going on in your area of business. The process is simple you tell Google what it is you want to know about and it will email you all the latest posts that reach the top ten rankings in the search engine. So if you are wondering Why my blog posts are not registering in Google alerts, then read below.

You can stay right on top of what is happening in your niche. For those that get to have their message emailed to people it can bring an untold amount of traffic. Imagine having your postsings emailed directly to people that are actually requesting to read them, that is amazing targeted traffic. The search engine only sends the postsings that make it to the top 10 in the search engines so you only get sent the most relevant content.

So to get your blog posts sent out you need to have relevant news content that is going to be in the top ten, and you need to have your site submitted to the News section. Below are the steps that you should follow to see if you can get your site emailed out to thousands of inboxes.

The very first thing you need to do is find out if your site is being picked up by the news section. Simply type site: your url into the address bar and see if it comes up in the news, if not you need to suggest it to the search engine as a possible news site.

Once this is accomplished you need to load a news site map onto your blog. This is what Google will crawl to find the news articles. Load the news site map into the root files of your postings or use a word press plug in.

Now you need to submit your entire site through the webmaster tools. Sign into the search engine with your email account. Log into the webmaster tools and submit your URL, they will give you a few option for you to verify the message is yours; choose the best one for you and carry out the instructions. Verify your site.

The last step is to submit your news site map that you created earlier in the dashboard of the URL that you just submitted click on the configuration tab then on site maps. There will be a place for you to enter the file location of your site map click on continue and you are done, now all you have to do is wait for Google to crawl your site.
