For a lot of my keywords I rank well in Google, while in live my site in nonexistant. Is there some trick to getting a website indexed into the live search or what?
Usually that is the other way around. Many notice a good better rank in MSN than in Google. MSN is easier, since you just have to stuff yor pages with keywords and that will get you to the first page. Anyway, MSN (or live) bring so little traffic that you really shouldn't worry about it.
I have been having the same problem for a few weeks now. I thought it would be temporary but that doesn't seem to be the case. And to be clear... Most of the key words that I track are completely out for MSN while they rank decently in Google and Yahoo, but a few weeks ago this was not the case. I have not changed anything on my site so I suspect MSN has done something and needless to say I'm not very happy about it. What is also interesting, though this could be just for my site, is that while my over all traffic has stayed fairly constant my sales are off. I'm not sure if that implies I receive more buying customers from MSN or if that is an economic statement; interesting nonetheless. Anyone have any thoughts as to what would cause MSN to suddenly dislike me ?
I know there was another thread on here about this, but there is definitely something wrong with MSN's new algorithm.. I have keywords that used to rank in the top 5 that are now ranked in the 400s, with no change on my part. Yet my Google rankings continue to rise daily. Weird, but I'm not about to start messing with my pages at the risk of losing my Google rankings.
