Having trouble getting listed on Google News

[ninel_P]

My friend has a site: http://www.behindthehedges.com/ and is having trouble getting accepted into Google News. I read over the technical guidelines and best practices listed on Google's site. It appears they have everything covered. However, they keep getting rejected.

Any ideas?

I've installed Yoast News SEO plugin and have configured that but no luck in getting accepted by Google News

Its' entirely possible that Google doesn't consider the posts newsworthy. Just having the technical markup for News doesn't mean it will be considered such by the search engine.
