A belgian news source has told me that it is getting paid by Google for delivering content to Google News. It's a small amount: a few 100 EUR's, but it is paid...
Philipp you can start negotiating now ;-) |
lol.. is it only for Belgium? (because of the trial thing Google had with Belgium) |
<<A belgian news source has told me that it is getting paid by Google for delivering content to Google News.>>
I very much doubt it. It wouldn't be fair for the rest of the sources. |
David: now it was before the trial. (It's btw a Flemish news source, not a Walloon (which were involved in the trial...)).
Ionut: The man told it to me in an very unsuspected moment. (We were not talking about Google at all but about how he was financing his business.) I don't see a reason why he woulded have lied for that. Conclusion, imo it was true... And as already mentioned, he is not the only one...
Could it be a strategy to give some small money to smaller news sources & try to get the bigger ones for free? |
Art-one do you have more details? |
Philipp: c.f. your e-mail. |
