MSN also have not had the decency to respond to me despite PM'ing msndude at this forum and at WMW where he is active. Also you can add content to an insurance advert page.
MSN seems to be the toughest SE to crack these days if your site doesn't have really good content. I have sites that have optimized content but with so-so quality content (human perspective) and MSN just totally ignores them. But for as long as I get into Google, I'm gonna be fine.
just out curosity , do you think that msn is doing all the bannings by hand or by algo? Also when they launch their own verion of adsense do you think they will do an about face on affiliate links?
I think they must do it by hand. I added some keywords to a page that didn't really make a lot of sense in the context that they were in but to a search engine, it should have looked fine because I only used the phrase like 7 times for around 700 words which shouldn't trigger anything.
I would agree...I've emailed MSN on numerous occasions, and they've never responded back to me regarding a banned site. But, try emailing them regarding adcenter, and they'll respond within minutes. It's ridiculous! When it comes to making money, they're the first to kiss your ass, but when it comes free organic listings, they completely ignore you. With a company that practices favoritism, how can you expect fair and relevant SERPs?
Do you guys find it a bit amusing that one of the richest companies in the world is punishing little webmasters for trying to make money of their sites?
How true! How very god damn true! U r so right, couldn't have said it better myself! They are really greedy!
There appears to be a new web form to request reinclusion with MSN Live search. Check it out at Help Center -> Support -> Live Search. Apparently you can also e-mail .
I've tried the email, but never got a response from them. I'll try the support form, and see what happens. I doubt I'll get a response from them.
Well, I got a response from them but it looks like an automated email again. They reply with email templates, and never give personalized responses. I'm done giving them anymore business...no more Adcenter!
I read that he was promoted to a different department. Microsoft apparently didn't decide to replace him after that.
I did also post for a re-inclusion for a site that i have been doing promotions once through link building but up to now i haven't got any updates and i hope this coming march 23, my wait will be over as it has been two months now.
Do you guys ever get sites unbanned? in any of the engines? I mean sometimes they come back on their own, but have any of you you actually had a reinclusion request be successful?
I have received responses for my first email but never for a re-inclusion request and, hence, haven't been re-included yet.
It appears that I will have to add my name to that list. I filled out the form yesterday and I see 277 referrals from MSN Search today.
Did you change anything about the site? Did you list the site: command search as the url where the problem was?
