I have been wondering why my pages suddenly disappeared from MSN and have been trying to find a solution to the problem and I think I have found a huge problem caused by Translation Gold. The reason I think it is Translation Gold is that every site I have been using it on have the same problems in MSN. Cached pages does not exist, 301 redirects are being indexed and the traffic just disappears. I have also looked at other sites (not my own) that are using Translation Gold and they seem to have the same problems. Here's what it looks like doing a site command of their own site Google and Yahoo doesn't seem to have problems with Translation Gold but MSN definitely have!!
Does anyone ehere that have sites gone from MSN been using (still is) using TranslationGold to translate your pages? After doing some intensive checks it seems that using TranslationGold is bad when it comes to MSN. It seems that they can't handle the cache TranslationGold is using for th pages and it gets REALLY bad if you have a link out to another site. If you do a search for "japanese.php?u=" in MSN then you can see what I am talking about! Pages that have "japanese.php?u=http://domain.com" don't have a cached page which is probably right but from there it gets really bad. Somehow it seens that MSN thinks we are doing something really BAD and penalize us for that by removing sites totally from the index. I am waiting for an answer from MSNDude in this matter and I hope he will find the problem and fix it ASAP. For now, I advice strongly not to use TranslationGold if you want to get listed in MSN!
