I read MSN Sitemap but While I have added a line to my robots.txt Sitemap: http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml Code (markup): We were spammed by this site. I did take a chance and look at it because my business partner thought I had an XML sitemap (which I do). On that site though, it says Now it says it needs to be registered with MSN. I know about Yahoo Explorer and the Webmaster Tools for Google, but are they referring to the robots.txt possibly in this site? I don't know it if it the sitemapfile.net website or the mplw.com website - I am guessing he just buys a few domain names to spam users. But is what he alludes to the truth - do you need to be registered with MSN or is the robots.txt all there is to it?
I'm interested in this as well. Yahoo and Google are gobbling up my pages while MSN does nothing but hit the robots.txt file. Nothing I have is indexed in MSN, but I have hundreds of pages listed in Google and about 100 listed in Yahoo. I also added my Google sitemap location to my robots.txt file. It made no difference for MSN. However, I do have a sub domain which is listed in MSN. But why won't MSN take the TLD? My Robots.txt reads: User-agent: * Sitemap: http://www.exampledomain.com/sitemap.xml
