Hi All, I was ranking very well in MSN for my keyword phrases up until about 4 months ago. My positions took a dive. It was my homepage and a couple of other main pages that were ranking for most of my keywords. Now they are almost nowhere to be found. My site get's found for the odd phrase but it is always one of my less important pages in the results. All my pages are indexed when i do a site:www.mysite.com search so it hasn't been dropped. As far as I'm aware, I'm not spamming. The only thing I can think of that might be hurting me is all those crap scraper sites linking to me (something i obviously cannot control). Does anyone know if scraper sites linking to me cause problems in MSN? My rankings in Google are good at the moment. My site has AdSense on it but provides useful content specific to the searches that I have written myself. I just don't know what action to take as I've been waiting it out for a few months hoping it is a temporary MSN glitch. I've read out people having their site banned but my pages are all listed for the 'site:' search. Please help!
The same thing happened to my site, but with Google. Personally, I'm redoing the site and plan on building up a solid link base. It's very very frustrating.
either with my web site or with MSN/Live.com. My web site used to get thousands of visitors a day up until a month or so ago but nt I don't get anything from them. Nothing has been changes on the web site and a lot of pages show up as Moved in their cache. Pages don't have title or description anymore and when I do a site: command with non-www and www then I get different number of pages which I didn't use to. I don't know what is going on but I have given up on MSN right now since I don't know what to do with the site. Something they have done totally changed my hits. Strange thing is Yahoo seems to have started loving the site. Google has never liked the site and I really didn't care since MSN gave me thousands of visitors a day anyway.... So I agree, something is up with MSN and I don't know what it is!
