The funny thing is that as a large publisher, it's not links on news.google.com that we really care about, it's landing in universal Google search one-boxes as a result of being indexed in Google News - that's where the traffic really comes from.

Yea, there's a lot of sites that take advantage of this like The Christian Post who target high search keywords for their "news" that has no relevance to the actual term. Search for "Stream NFL games" and "Watch NFL football online free" and other variants and see them pop up for everything with no mention of actually streaming games online (obviously).

  Many very top sites do this with any popular news term or keyword, its incentive to create content farms. Madness.
