i've looked into this before, it looks the only way is to either submit individual stories and articles for consideration or you can submit a feed link for them to consider heres the link for inclusion

One way is to submit online press releases - have a look at this:

I've managed to get a couple of sites on google news in the past, here are a few tips for you..

1) Make sure that the site that you want to get included in their crawlers has multiple editors and that these editors have some bio's on the site.. wordpress can do this quite well with a few plugins.

2) Try NOT to include the date in the URL of your articles - they won't always reject for this but it's one of the things they look at.

3) Ensure that you have the relevant policies (privacy policy, etc) in place and have a contact page so that readers can get in touch.

4) Seems obvious, but make sure that the site has a good amount of unique content on it before submitting your details.

Hope that helps,

James - that is fantastic - thank you. I was searching for this very information this morning, as I want to make the A1 Business Blog multi author exactly as you describe, with bio pages etc!

Can you give any suggestions as to the best plugins to use - as that is what I'm searching for right now?

Sorry for hijacking the thread

I'd not submit any content from my site personally Alvin - I'd simply write some new original content for the press release - with links and a good title in the usual way. I'm sure that is more effective.
