A second chance to make it into Google News
January 24th, 2007Take a look at this link to Google News (the screenshot of how this looks right now appears below).
Notice how there’s an image next to the story. The interesting thing is that that image doesn’t come from the story that’s being linked to but from another, related story. Check it out for yourself - the image comes from a separate story.
How do you get your image there? Well, what you need to do is place an image near the top of your page/blog post. Ideally this should be small (120 pixels wide by 160 tall seems like a good number) and the ALT text for this image should be the same as the title of your page/blog post.
This trick doesn’t guarantee you placement, but it does give your page a second chance to appear in the news!
