Like I said in my earlier post, whatever this filter is, it seems to affect a much smaller proportion of sites than the G sandbox. So most people will not see it. My question is, "What causes a small but reasonable percentage of sites to not show properly in the MSN SERPs as quickly as most?" My hypothesis is the physical server location (mine is in Japan) is the key. Can anyone who has actually had this filter applied to their site confirm or contradict this?
I had a few new sites that quickly jumped to the very top for my keywords, then slowly dropped down a bit but still are on the first page.
I don't see the sand box effect on MSN. I see it on Yahoo and Google. I shoot for very competitive keywords, and get #1 positions within a week. Too bad MSN is not driving much traffic to my site :-(
I've got a freshed content,good keyword and a lot of backlink in MSN,but still theres no ranking in my site... Do you think im in the sandbox of msn? Can you guys help me with this one.. I would appreciate some tips
It seems like I'm stuck in a sandbox like behavior from MSN. I'm #1 for adapex in msn, yet other sites I develop in similar fashing (including inbound links) will NOT get indexed. My hoodia-i.com site has been up with inbound links for 6 months and it hasn't been indexed. My phentermine diet pills site was barely active by the host provider and it was indexed with the host providers info, but after I added content 3 days ago it's now removed from the index. Arggg...
There is no sandbox like filter for MSN that I have seen. With a little link building and good on-page SEO, it is easy to show up in MSN.
