I'm also interested. Seemed like a great announcement that you don't have to be accepted for inclusion any more to be included, but I actively monitor google news in a lot of markets and I'm not seeing any new sites show up. Plus, I operate a brand that is well known and recognized but was not a part of google news, I was hoping we might benefit from the new system, but so far nothing.
I am interested though if anyone else is seeing any changes.
If there are any links or banners anywhere on the site that lead to "illegal" sites like non licensed gambling sites "affiliate links" , you will be denied
