MSN Spider comes and leaves me with nothing!

    I have a blog site:

    http://www.online-central.net

    For some odd reason, MSN is not indexing my site. It only has the main site (an older version), and none of my topics or internal pages. :confused:

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    MSN is a hard one. I've tried everything including some weird stuff. I've tried submitting sitemaps to MSN, putting their search on my site and searching it, blah blah blah. It seems like when they index something, another page gets dropped.

    The ONLY thing I've found is that the more consistent new content is added, the more they visit and index. But as far as tricks or techniques specific to MSN...I can't find any.

    In my experience it seems the bot just indexes whatever it wants, including forbidden areas. I really dont understand this MSN search engine :confused:

    I had a new website couple of months back. MSN bot visited pages aggressively in beginning then slowed down and now it is coming once in a day or so. It's really weird.

    Their bot definitely behaves in a strange manner. But then again doesn't most Microsoft stuff? :)

    MSN can drive webmasters insane - be patient is the keyword here. Don't keep changing things around for MSN because it won't do this or won't do that.

    Let things happen naturally and it will come.
