I had have a sports news website that is in google news for 10 years, before they called it In the News on the top section of search I used to rank all the time for single keywords, I had no backlinks but being in google news helped me for my niche so Id post a new article and almost always it would be in the In The News section
This was back in 2010-2013 and Ill say this the traffic was insane, I had to upgrade my server and pay for a more expensive one, and off one article I was making upwards of 500 to 900 dollars a day or more it all depended on how popular the search term was that day if it was trending and I got in the news. The most I ever made in one day from adsense was $3,450 for a story on Brock Lesnar for UFC that was in the top stories or in the news section on search.
After 2013 all my traffic died, I was no longer appearing in in the news, then they switched it to top stories and I barely make a few cents on adsense for this same site.
Last year my articles were appearing again in top stories but only when I would search for the article title
Now they stopped appearing again.
Whats crazy is I saw some spammy articles ranking in the top stories for 3 positions, and these sites were only around for 4 years, but Im curious how does one appear in top stories now?
Do you need to add AMP to your website? someone told me he added AMP to his google news site and after a while he started getting more traffic and appearing in the amp carousel on mobile, but not sure if that carries over to desktop and top stories.
