Google Alerts: Want in News Alert, Not Blog Alerts

I am excited as our post are final are making google alerts for name related to our site!! Google Alerts is widely used by my target Audience so this should help a whole lot!.

The problem is all the post are going into Blog alerts and not the news alerts which is at the top of the page of alerts. Most people do not have "Comprehensive" check as well so better chance of being seen if in the News Alerts. does anyone know how I can make this happen? Thanks for the help.

I think that can only happen if your site is listed a news site by Google and is present in the Google News section which is going to be next to impossible.

Thanks for the info. How did it get listed as a blog site? Is there not a way to change its listing?

Don't know, but it seems to be norm since I too get a lot of threads from forums in Google blog alerts.

Not entirely sure if only sites being featured on Google News can get into news alert, however this is the method of submitting your site to Google News, Submitting Your Content : Google News - Help for Publishers

What do you mean my google alerts is widely used by your audience?

I use google alerts to know when google indexes a page on my site.

I don't care when other sites get a page indexed.

I'm curious to know what information you are interested in learning about other sites as if you were a customer using alerts to find the latest information about something.
