Why MSN indexes less pages?

    I thought it might be an isolated incident, but almost everytime I compare how many pages MSN indexes from my sites, it seems to be half that of Google or Yahoo.

    If Yahoo is 1,500 then MSN has 750 pages indexed... I've checked more than a few sites and it is almost always the case... not just on new sites but old established sites...

    Does anybody know why that might be? I always thought MSN was pretty easy to get pages indexed in, but maybe they changed....

    Same for me. MSN either doesn't index or rank relatively well.

    MSN is always faster at indexing large amounts of pages, but the end result advantage will always be Y or G.

    I think this is different with every country.

    If I look at the market share here in The Netherlands.

    Google 73%
    MSN 15%
    Others 9%
    Yahoo 3%

    Alot of people don't use yahoo. Then again it is a beta version.

    I have read that in the US. Yahoo is second after google.

    MSN is the fastest to index "root" pages, pages that are only 1 level deep on your site while the laziest in indexing deeper pages. You need sifficient "qualified" link popularity on your site for MSN to index all your pages. You also need to be very patient (4 months -1 year) since it normally takes sometime before their "deepbots" are activated. Unlike popular belief, MSN is the best search engine any site owner can dream of because it even indexes up to 4 variables in an url quite easily. G! has terrible problems doing this if there's no powerful backlinks pointing at it.
