Please tell me the frequency with which the msnbot crawls every website. I think the googlebot crawls more frequently and regularly. What about msnbot?
Frequency of bots visit depends on the content of the sites. Sorry but I didn't understood the question properly.
Yahoo and Google bots are continously crawling my sites, but MSN bot seems to be lazy ... comes once in 3-4 days.
yeah, definitely msn bot is lazy. when g visited my site 24 times (yahoo 11) msn were there just 6 times
MSN BOT SUCKS NOW. I am sorry but I really want to vent about how stupid the live.com update has been. It has dropped thousands of legit websites out from the index. It is slow, it's not smart enough and it's killing the good name that MSN had started to establish with search.msn.com I think MSN need to work their ass off to improve their search results, accuracy and filters to make sure that the legit websites do not get banned. Really frustrating!
I see both MSN robots crawling my site almost everyday: media-msnbot about 25- 30 pages/day while the regular msnbot much less. (today 8 pages). Been this way in the last 2 months. Not a big deal, because they are not sending me any traffic.
frequency of msnbot depents on your backlink but i can give some statics about my sites which has google pr 5 . this web site is being visited by googlebot everyday but msnbot visits two times or three time in a week
any ideas how i can get more msn bot action? this is the spider stats for a new site which i made, it is now 6 days old Googlebot 3102 Inktomi Slurp 20 Unknown robot (identified by 'spider') 11 Unknown robot (identified by 'crawl') 5 Alexa (IA Archiver) 1 MSNBot 1 the msn bot thus far doesnt seem to be too keen; i have posted to directory sites, articles and a bit of blog and ping even to moreover which i was under th eimpression is spidered heavily by msn bot but still no joys. It's all well and good msn being the easiest search engine to rank would just be nice to get into the thing in the first place!! with regards carl
Exactly. MSN bot spiders my site frequently. i changed my title 2 days back and it got updated in the search result in less than 24 hours. maybe its because I'm changing my contents regularly
Oddly enough 90% of my organic traffic comes from google and I rank well for my list of keywords. On the other hand I rank okay in live but in total they search my site a lot more. For January Hits Percent User Agent 3579 8.15% Yahoo! Slurp 2904 6.61% msnbot-Products/1.0 1387 3.16% msnbot/1.0 993 2.26% Googlebot/2 485 1.10% msnbot-media/1.0 109 0.25% Googlebot-Image/1.0
Though looking at another one of my sites it is quite diffrent: For January Hits Percent User Agent 13979 8.83% Yahoo! Slurp 2216 1.40% Googlebot/2 2058 1.30% Yahoo-MMCrawler/3.x 1461 0.92% msnbot/1.0 1361 0.86% msnbot-media/1.0
strange why the googlebot is not going to your site more, msn as usual takes it time to come back tho!
