How to add Google News your Site?

February 4th, 2009 by Manpreet | Filed under blogging, google.

Today Google launched a new extension to the AJAX Search API, a Google News-based element. This element embeds a news slideshow on your site, letting your users see headlines and previews from Google News based on queries that you’ve selected. Here is an example of the NewsShow in action:

To add above code to your blog or website copy code below:

The element comes in two standard sizes: 728×90 and 300×250. So easy add news isn’t it:

1.) To add 300×250 size copy code below:

<iframe src=”http://www.google.com/uds/modules/elements/newsshow/iframe.html?format=300×250″ width=”320″ height=”270″></iframe>

2.) To add 728×90 copy code from below:

<iframe src=”http://www.google.com/uds/modules/elements/newsshow/iframe.html?” width=”740″ height=”100″></iframe>

3.) But the problem is the above shows only latest headlines. And the question is if I have a tech website , then what a political news is doing on my website or blog. Here is the solution. In the code above if you want only technology news then just edit the code to:

<iframe src=”http://www.google.com/uds/modules/elements/newsshow/iframe.html?format=300×250&q=technology” width=”320″ height=”270″></iframe>

Here is the result of above code:

Similarly you can do it for Science, Microsoft, Yahoo, superbowl, cricket etc. kind of specific news by just simply changing (q= your choice )

  1. Is ripping off headlines and leads protected by “fair use”?

    Yeah, bloggers will love this but what if the publishers don’t want their headlines and leads on their blogs? Just because you think you’re doing something for the publisher by providing a link, doesn’t mean they agree with you.

    Oh, well, let Google legal handle it.
