MSN indexes, but doesn't cache.

    I'm working with a very large site that is fine in all engines but MSN. MSN indexes the site, but it doesn't cache most of the pages.

    I did submit a XML sitemap and I don't have any errors.

    There is plenty of authority and links, but MSN is not interacting well with the site.

    Is there any known MSN issues? Like + signs in the URL or ASP.net or ??? Any ideas why MSN would have issues crawling a large, CMS driven site?

    Google and Yahoo don't seem to have the same issues.

    Thanks

    MSN seem to have handled the transition to Live.com really badly (their words not just mine) and I have sites that have got Google and Yahoo all over like a rash but can't get arrested with MSN. Thank god they are the smallest network.

    The issue is I'm not sure if it's a MSN/Live technology issue or if it's a technical issue with the site. Hum....

    Also, do you have a link to an MSN article on their transition problems?

    it takes awhile some times esp if your site is kind of new.

    msn isnt really a big loss, its far better you putting your time into working and improving your site rather than trying loads of different ways to make it confrom to how msn like it. who uses msn anyway?? they should check out a site called google, its so much better.
