MSN Live - Not Indexing?

    Has anyone experienced any problems in their website not getting indexed AT ALL in Live.com?

    The site that is not being indexed is rankings highly in Google and Yahoo, but refuses to enter MSN. I've manually submitted the site to Live.com, checked and re-checked robots.txt to see if it's being blocked and checked the meta tags to see it robots is deined. All of these have turned up no responses.

    I've not had problems with other sites on this server and MSN, just this particular site. Anyone had this problem before?

    My site is #1 in Google and Yahoo, yet nowhere to be found on Live. I add niche articles to my site on a regular basis and within 3 or 4 days they'll pop up on the first page of Yahoo, a few pages back on Google and, once again, absent from Live.

    Obviously, the lack of response to your post indicates no one else understands Live's "Secret Indexing Formula" either.

    use the webmaster tools it helps some what and also remeber msn is alot slower then the others it can take a month just to get indexed even with good back links.

    but if your sites good and you use the tools and have proper back links dont worry youll eventually get indexed.

    it takes a while to get indexed with live, unless you have keyword rich domain names
