Help getting site indexed on MSN. Weird story...

    Hey, I'm pretty new to Adsense and website building in general. I started about a month ago, and things are going pretty good already. However, there are a few sites that I've been trying to get up on MSN and they simply won't index! I know, sometimes it takes time to index and I'm probably just being impatient but other sites have fully indexed within a matter of two or three days so I'm a little worried about these ones.

    Two of my sites are already #1 on MSN, and they fully indexed within 3 or 4 days. I was amazed. However, I put two sites up almost 2 weeks ago and only the homepage has indexed on MSN. I did exactly the same strategy that I did with the two that #1. Submitted articles to the same sites, submitted to all search engines, ect...

    It wouldn't bother me so much if the new sites were indexed but not on first page. That way I could build them up to first pagers, but I'm just afraid they aren't ever going to get indexed and therefore I won't reap the benefits of them!

    Do you have an suggestions? Does it sometimes take extra long for sites to fully index on msn? Thanks in advance you guys!

    www.myexpressomaker.com (new site, posted 2 weeks ago won't fully index)
    www.bulemianervosa.net (new site, posted 2 weeks ago won't fully index)
    www.anerexia.net (#1 on msn)
    www.rumatoidarthritis.net (#1 on msn)

    PS: Maybe you guys could compare my sites and see if there is a reason the first two won't index (any blatantly wrong things I'm doing). I am new to this, so I'm still learning. Thanks alot!

    This is just a guess - but my immediate reaction is that these pages are blatant "designed for Adsense" pages, in that there is more Google ad than useful content above the fold. I'd guess that MSN's algorithm has classified it as blatant spam, especially when I look at your HTML and see your title tags all over the place.

    You've got to remember that that MSN is in the business of indexing content while not helping their competitors, a sort of delicate balance when it comes to Adsense-sponsored pages. Possibly MSN's algorithm has decided that these pages don't contain any useful content?

    Suggestions:
    1. Remove the "Infomation about" keywords at the top of the page.
    2. Remove either the first Google Ad block, or, remove the Google ad that is making you the least money. MSN might be rejecting you because there's more Google ad than content above the fold.
    3. Try putting in some useful, honest content. Stop trying to fool the search engines and instead reach down and try to say something.

    Yeah, you've made some good points. The only reason I'm a little confused is because two of my sites were indexed badda bing badda boom almost overnight and they are all basically designed the same.
