I ask this because I have been working on submitting articles to directories, In about a week I made it to page 20, next day 17. I use Softnik Technologies, Good Keywords tool to see how many backlinks I have for MSN. And somedays It will show I have 80 backlinks, next day It drops to 60, Next Dat 75, etc. etc. Its always changing.... Any Idea's why this is happening?
It takes quite a bit longer for new links to get crawled by MSN and longer before you see any results.
It may take a while for MSN to show your links correctly, but I actually think they give credit for links faster than anyone else. I can submit an article and actually move a site up in the serps very fast in MSN.
Agreed... but I usually get indexed by google before yahoo... guess it all depends on your site/keywords/etc.
Yup for me too, msn indexes my sites rather quickly, so does yahoo. Google takes the most time. Msn certainly weighs links on blogspot blogs a lot, if I add my site's link on a blogspot blog it get indexed by msn very quickly.
that's maybe because msnbot visits blogspot most due to all the links directing to blogspot!? Yup Yahoo appears to take more time to index, but Google still needs most time to use the information it indexes well generally the next update should consider any indexed pages
