    Do you think that Msnbot is very lazy and don't crawl website quickly. My website has not been indexed by MSNBOT for the last 2 months but has been already indexed by google and yahoo.

    What you thinks ?:cool:

    The live bot is undergoing some changes and tweaks that should hopefully speed things up. It seems if your site was not well indexed prior to about 10/2007 you're doomed for now. It does however seem to index blogs pretty quickly but doesn't follow the links all that well. For some webmasters it is crawling the sites no problem but it's not indexing or updating indexed results.

    Be patient, there really isn't anything you can do.

    MSN bot is the laziest bot in the world i guess. Never indexs the sites. Google is light years ahead of the MSN & Yahoo. The least both the search engines do can is to index the sites rapidly.

    You ask a question such as this and have "Affordable SEO Services" in your signature. I suggest maybe you should use that service.

    I have both the MSNBot and the MSNBot-media bot visiting my websites fine.
    Checked one of them right now and saw the following

    (Robot Hits, Bandwidth, Last visit time)
    Looks to be working fine as far as I can see.

    The problem could be that you have not SEO'd your site at all for MSN/Live and instead of trying to do anything, are wasting time here moaning and groaning.

    MSN has it webmaster tools. Don't know the url by heart.
    It should help in crawling.

    Hint: add url to msn and msn bot come to your site.
    It's easy, but it's really true.
    Btw, i see video interview with on of the msn developer. He say that they increase index size in the end of september because index size not shange from the date then Microsoft start this se. In october and november msn bot was very fast and index updating very good, but from the december.... still not have any serious changes in serps. May be msn have a some technical troubles whith increasing index size.

    A bot is not alive, so no it is not lazy.
