Is this an aggregator of press releases? If so, it's hardly science news: there is no critical thinking reviewing the results. It's more like science spin. At best, it's will be a good source of story tips for bloggers. I'm talking from experience as a science blogger. Please correct me if I'm wrong about your sources - I don't mean to offend.
Also, your name is very similar to an existing science "news" service from the American Academy for the Advancement of Science (the AAAS). They call theirs EurekAlert ( http://www.eurekalert.org/ http://www.eurekalert.org/ ), and the title of their home page is "EurekAlert - Science News". Because of this, you'll have a tough time ranking in the search engines since eurekalert.org is such an established site.
- FiReaNG3L 19y agoIt's indeed targeted at non-scientific people; bloggers, highschool students, etc. It`s a press release aggregator, but it also cluster news from other sites, giving more sources for each story. However, the big plus is that it ranks stories in order of importance. And as for search engine ranking, Eurekalert is a public non profit service, so they dont market much. Science daily use their press releases and is #1 for 'science news', even if its horrible in usability / design. Of course, we intend to change that ;) But we know the competition is fierce in this niche.
