Everbody knows MSN is easy too rank well (if you know something about onpage opt.) and working very fast. It hapenned severals times to me, that my niche site is ranked well, just after several days. However... About 2 weeks ago I put another site on the server. I get some links and noticed that MSN bot visited my site after one , or two days. Everyday bot is doing the same. Check robots.txt and go to the home page. Everyday form two weeks... But site is not still indexed in ranking... however command link:domain.com gives about 60 results. I have one seroius suspicion why MSN dont like to index my site. All the content is grabed form free articles sites. Of course officially I can do it if giving full author footer (what I am doing), but I belive if site cantains ONLY free articles can be see as a duplicate content. Do you have any similar experience? What do you think?
Sounds to me like your site is indexed fine, just not well ranked. And yeh, dup content sure won't help your rankings.
Most of the free article sites say that you cannot alter the content of the articles you pull. Is it OK to alter them? If you leave the author's name and links there and do not change the meaning of the material -- just make it your own?
@adamjthompson I belive site is not indexed, not only not ranks well - command "site:domain.com" gives no results @Quickback - I dont change articles, I think it is not right. I just see, maybe if you have some orginal content and some free articles extra, maybe it is working ok. If you put only free articles MSN will not like your site
Well, with most of your articles being duplicated, I don't think your site stands a chance of being ranked. Instead of placing the duplicated material, why don't you try to redo them, say rewrite them, using the different tools available for keyword optimization. your site would then look authentic, and who knows,the ranking may jump up.
