This is just amazing, I submitted my website to MSN yesterday and it was already crawled the same day!
I've mentioned it a few times too. MSN is certainly a quick updating search engine, also there Map's service is more detailed than Google's.
msn is fast, i got the same experience. they also good to show your site in their SERP too if you have many keywords inside your site.
It's not really necessary to submit to MSN, Yahoo, or Google. They will find you rather quickly with proper backlinking. But, I too see fast updates on MSN.
I've gotten several sites indexed and ranked for my keywords by MSN within a couple days. One thing that I find strange is that in a couple of cases, they ranked my privacy policy page and/or my contact page higher than my index page even though those 2 pages have very little content and my index page has a lot. Anybody else had that happen?
Maybe it's because they're not busy indexing Billions upon billions of other sites! But I'm not complaining, MSN drives loads of traffic to my sites.
yes they are, i had started a blog(2nd in my signature) in feb (i guess, can be march, i dont remember) ranked 3rd for the keyword "bollywood movie" and "bollywood movie news", although both of them are not very highly competitive keywords, but still i m on my way for the keyword "bollywood". Why am i missing on google and yahoo ranking, maybe cause i m in a sandbox for google and yahoo heavily relies on the age of the domain. Also i m using blogger beta, which is throwing up lots of CSS stuff nullifying my on page optimization efforts. MSN-->thank you.
