INTERNET MARKETING

OK, I've been doing great as far as SEO, linkbuilding, networking etc for my local sites. I have noticed though that I am not getting indexed in MSN Live for some reason. I am number one on Google and Yahoo for several terms, but nowhere to be seen on MSN?

Does MSN usually take a lot longer or is there a trick to getting indexed quick with them?

Thanks,

Jim

Is there any tricks of the trade that I should know about regarding MSN Live?

Live is slow to update. Also, many people say they won't scan your site if you don't have a robots.txt file.

I've often had just the opposite experience - slow to get on G and Y, fast at MSN. I don't know why (and Lord knows I've tried figuring it out). I will note that if you use a descriptive alt text for your images, they can actually get you traffic from Live. I have a site where the main header graphic with a descriptive alt text in the code showed up on the first page at MSN for weeks in their images search function. I was getting 200+ unique visitors/day for that time. It's since dropped to page 3, but it was a fun ride!

Well, my sites are fast in MSN as well so I am not sure what;s your problem is besides MSN just get 10% of the traffic. If you are going ok in G and Y then it should be good enough.

  Here is what work for me:
  
  Simply submit your url to msn and they will index your site in a day or two. Usually get my site indexed with them within 24 hours. (A lot of person ignore this but it works)
  
  Hope that helps
  
  Thanks

Ok all......MSN is simply ignoring me apparently. I have tried everything I know of to get listed with them. The page that I am trying to get listed is only a one page site for a local business that I created. It ranks great for several of my keywords on Google AND Yahoo....but doesn't exist on Live.

Talk about frustrating....any other suggestions? I've never had this problem before.

Find sites that are ranking well in Live for your related niche and get links from them. Works like a charm

Hi

Google sends me 100x more traffic than Yahoo.

Yahoo sends me 10x more traffic than Live.

Ergo, why should I optimize for Live?

...or even care about Live?

Canuck I'll see if I can do that...but it is for a local business so it is not as simple as my regular IM link-building as far as that goes.

I totally agree Steven...if it was my own personal site I wouldn't really care, but one of the things I assure my offline clients is my ability to get them listed within all three search engines...so this one really has me stumped.

As some optional methods, you could submit to reddit or digg as they will index you within a day or two, as well as submit your web address directly to msn and you will be indexed in a day or two. With any of these methods you can get indexed in 24 hours at least!
