Google will no longer allow publishers to add posts to the Google Publisher Center manually. Instead, Google will automatically add eligible post pages later in the year.
This change will likely lead to even more confusion about Google News inclusion, which we’ve had for years since Google changed the inclusion process. in 2019.
What Google said. Google he wrote:
As of today, publishers can no longer add posts to the Publisher Center. We’re making this change as part of a transition to roll out auto-generated post pages later this year.
Google added that this feature previously allowed publishers to manually create a source page for users to follow. But from now on, “publishers with manually created publication pages will continue to have access to personalization features until later this year, when the pages will be automatically created. Users will still be able to follow their favorite publications “.
“Content from publishers that adheres to our content policies is automatically eligible for consideration in Google News and across all News surfaces,” Google added.
as it seemed Here’s a screenshot in the Google Publisher Center of how to add a post; note that this disappears:
Why we care I expect this change to cause more frustration and confusion among publishers. As you know, the whole Google News inclusion process, which used to be a clear and simple process, is not automated and very unclear and completely non-transparent.
This will only make things even more confusing for publishers.
