My site used to rank well in MSN Live search until last October. Then it dropped out completely. The site is still in the MSN index and hasn't been banned. If I do a "text string" search for text from the site in quotation marks, the search will return my site (although in a very poor position). It appears I am being penalized for something. The only thing I can think of is that I use news headlines from RSS feeds as links to other information that our users might be interested in. Any idea if that could be causing my problem. No problems in Google or Yahoo. I'm new to this forum - is it proper etiquette to post my site URL to see if anyone has any ideas? Thanks!
Here is the site: www.monsterdraft.com For example, I went from the #1 ranking for: value based drafting to not appearing in the search results at all for that keyword phrase. Thanks for your thoughts!
WEll msn is strange with rankings it's well known that they rank well new sites and then drop them Anyway my advise concentrate on Google the most and yahoo
I agree with relying on Google and Yahoo. Just wondering if anyone knows whether the RSS feeds I have are causing my problem. Wouldn't mind picking up a little more traffic from MSN.
This has been happening alot since MSN switched to LIVE...check out the MSN thread for more info. You can try to re-submit your site, but so far lots of people are being left out and no one is really sure why.
MSN should consider turning their search service off, it is really unreliable one I it is close to random listing of websites rather than a real SERP that uses algorithm and some sense
