Google News Publisher Benefit?

[davidkaralisjr]

I'm curious about the benefit of verifying your website in the Google News Publisher Center. Right now my website isn't showing up under "My Sites," and it recommends I submit the site to be reviewed for inclusion. However, when I go to news.google.com and search for news topics we cover, our site does show up sometimes. Will verifying the website in the Google News Publisher Center help to include it in News results more frequently?

One thought I had is that perhaps Google will start to ONLY include sites in Google News that the webmaster has verified here.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
