I have noticed that MSN have not indexed any of my new pages for all of my sites for last 30 days. I checked other sites and not a single new page and sites have been added in September. Strange?
I have the same problem. MSN indexed only 2 of the 35 pages of my new site which is online now for a month or a bit more. No problem with Google or Yahoo. Strange.
Well i think that msn is doing some changes in its spides , dont know if its correct but this may be one of the reasons. Regards, Ace.
I have waited nearly a month or even slightly over and I have not had my site added at all yet. I never submit my sites manually as it's not normally needed, but I ended up adding it to their site via their submission form, which I had done a few days ago. Wonder if that will speed things up. I already have my site in Yahoo and Google and already am getting some traffic from them. I have many backlinks already aswell.
It's true that MSN seems harder to get pages listed these days, I'm not sure what rules they go by. Adding a site manually doesn't seem to speed things up, at least in my experience. I've added sites for the last couple of years, some get listed, some never do, the reason being ... I have no idea.
MSN has always taken longer to index my sites, but when they do MSN gives me good traffic. Just be patient, it will happen!
How do we know if all the pages have been indexed by a particular SE or not ? and which page has been indexed by the SE spiders ?
There are numerous tools available to show you which pages have been indexed. I use SeoElite which is pretty good. But there are some free tools available as well. Just do a search for "indexed pages checker" or "indexed pages tool"
I'm having the same problem here.. Added about 30K pages to our site - Google picked them up within a week, but MSN is still sitting there with the old number.
MSN is in the act of practicing self love. On this generic keyword query, 70% of the live search results pointed back to microsoft owned websites. This may be unintentional, but is sure makes MSN look bad.
Maybe their experiencing technical difficulties as I've only been able to get one page indexed, despite being able to get all my pages listed in google and yahoo.
