    For some reason my site hasn't been picked up by msn. Been live since Dec 09. Does someone know how I can find out why.

    Hi,
    An easy trick could be to download the MSN site verification code from MSN webmaster tools http://www.bing.com/webmaster
    Transfer a simple files that you would be asked to dowload into your public html file(root folder) using FTP or cpanel through file manager.
    Once you have verified to MSN, you would be indexed by MSN very quickly.
    You also add your sites to MSN, so it helps MSN bots to crawl your site every now and then.
    use this link:http://www.bing.com/webmaster/SubmitSitePage.aspx
    BTW, MSN search engine stands for only quality. MSN hardly index any sites and 50% of sites are having only 1 index pages by MSN.
    Thanks!
    Hope it will help you out for sure.
    Mike. M.

    'BTW, MSN search engine stands for only quality. MSN hardly index any sites and 50% of sites are having only 1 index pages by MSN.'? What in the world are you talking about? I would have to disagree with every word of that statement.

    Okay! Dude! I don't mind even if you disagree but can you give me 10 url's that has more MSN index pages than to Google. I can give you thousands and even i find the same with your signature links.
    Anyways, hope it helped to 2point2.
    P.S. i found your website in your signature link that has no index pages at MSN but to Yahoo and Google, how come?

    I guess. I'm not too worried about it. Bing is a small fish compared to Google and Yahoo.

    BTW, how are you checking indexed pages on Bing?

    Well,
    As bogs said, MSN stands for only quality. I already provided you 2 links that should have helped you whole getting crawled by MSN bots. Try to use those links and your site would be indexed quickly. Submitting your sitemap using the MSN webmaster tools will also improve your chances to get indexed ASAP.
    Remember, MSN don't give too many indexed to any site but even if you get 4-5 that or so, that will help you knowing that you're doing quality work.
    Thanks!
    hope it helps you.

    you should try to submit your page instead of letting it be picked up!
