MSN Seems to be systematically removing my sites

I have seen several sites of mine getting removed from MSN's index. I finally determined it was due to similar programing and content layout (content was unique however).

But, my next site takes the cake. Totally unique to the rest and was climbing well on MSN. I was #3 for the term, hoodia diet pills, but now it's gone. I typed in my URL in the MSN search bar and all of my pages EXCEPT my index page is listed. Other keyword terms show up because they land on other pages.

This bothers me because I saw the same behavior with two of my other sites. First the index, then within a week, the rest of the site was completely removed. Does anyone know a way to contact MSN and find out if they simply don't LIKE me? Perhpas I'm blacklisted in some way (I have a lot of nasty competitors).

Any help on how to go about this is MUCH appreciated.

 

Same here. I have a pretty good idea why. Such is life.

 

Such is life is your idea why?

 

All sites on the same server/IP?

 

Nope, each are dedicated.

 

That really should not matter. It's a non-issue. With name based virtual hosting required by ARIN, it would be completely and utterly stupid for any SE to ban based on unique IP adddresses.

 

I doubt you're blacklisted, unless you are doing something that you know you should'nt be doing. I think MSN is still in the infancy stages of developing their SE technology, and there have been and will be more drastic changes to their ranking algorithm etc. Take it easy and focus on G & Y, you'll get way more traffic that way. Although, is it just me or do visitors from MSN seem to click more adsense than G & Y referred visitors? Is it the dumb factor?

 

That doesn't mean they don't do it.

 

I've not seen any tangible proof that they do. I have seen many a webmaster nervous about it, but I have never seen any conclusive evidence to prove it either way

 

My bad...never mind. I thought I had notifications set on this thread....*Edited*

 

Bottom line, I'd say don't worry about MSN. It's still in the larvae stages and will need many a drastic change to become the butterfly they want to be.

 

one of my sites has just been dropped, it still shows backlinks but if I search for the domain name it returns 0 results.

It was unique content, nothing dodgy at all, used the coop ad network.

Interesting thing though, is it was about slimming (not slimming pills, but their was a small page on them), something against slimming pills?

 

Don't sweat it, it'll likely be back in a day or two.
