Not606 News Team Not606 News Team

If you see articles from these, don't put negative comments on it, like I did last night.
It's an initiative to promote the site with newsnow/google.
Thank you

Default The Not 606 News Team

I am paying a guy with the extra revenue generated from advertising to guests to seed the content 'Article' sections. (When I say extra revenue from advertising, I'm making up about 40% of the guy's wage from my own pocket with the hope of maintaining growth and eventually making the money back through further advertising)

At the minute I've told him not to worry about getting breaking news, or about producing quality articles - just to get the News sections filled up with a history of news as fast as possible so I can submit our site to Newsnow and Google News - and we look as if we are producing enough content for them to force their developers to put the time and effort into spidering our news stories. Once we are accepted on these news aggregation sites I will instruct him to up the quality.

So please get our users to stop lambasting him every time he posts something that's been known for more than two hours, it will look bad whenever the Google or Newsnow guys come to judge the quality of the site and see loads of people telling the authors to **** off.

In terms of the plans when we are on Newsnow and Google News. I am going to put a button on the forum saying 'Report Breaking News' which will allow you or anyone else to send the News Team whatever News is breaking so they can do a quick write up and be one of the first to market on these news aggregation sites.

At this point I want the moderators to merge the existing Threads on the subject with the newly created 'official' Not606 News Story. This way when we get the thousands of people clicking from Google News and News Now on the latest Sunderland scandal they will see the discussion taking place below the article and sign up to join in.

It's crazy enough to work.
