Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Monica,

Thanks so much for your help. I was having trouble finding any further information through my own research, maybe I can get some clues from Google News. I will also be experimenting and maybe can share my findings.

I appreciate it

Hi Monica,

Thanks for your response. We've already done all of your suggestions, and I have a few follow-up questions:

In addition to getting generally better uptake into Google Finance, a few specific questions are:
1. What determines the set of companies that GF associates with an article?  Any suggestions for keywords in the metadata or text of the article?
2. What determines how long the article stays on the feed on the right-hand side of GF?  We think it's a function of our site's reputation, the clickthrough rate on the article title, and the frequency of competing articles on the company.  We often see our articles appear on GF but last only a few minutes.
3. How long must the article be?  When we write articles less than ~300 words they don't appear on GF, but other sites regularly have much shorter articles in GF.

I don't know what ranking factors they are using for this feed. The results vary greatly from a search done at google.com or google.com/news and google.com/finance

I'm working with a website that regularly publishes finance-related news and currently gets traffic from google finance. I'm wondering what we can do to optimize our news articles to possibly show more prominently or more often.

Thanks
