www.soles4u.com

We launched this site some time ago (July) and it's already ranking fairly well in Google and Yahoo but just doesn't appear in MSN despite a number of links appearing in search results. It's been added to the MSN Webmaster Center but no pages are being found yet...

Any ideas?

I've always found msn to be a bit hit and miss, sometimes it lists and ranks my sites way faster than the other SE's other times it seems to take forever. Personally, i would continue to build links and generally publicize your site, msn will probably catch up when its good and ready.

Good to see that I'm not the only one! It's really odd as some of the sites I work on seem to rank really well in MSN with little or no effort but others really struggle. Still, I'll keep plugging away and hopefully it'll start appearing sooner rather than later.

Cheers for the reply

How bad is MSN? I have a site that was completely rebuilt 8 months ago including 99% new page names. When I check SE rankings for the site there are still occasions where the old dynamic pages still have top 10 rankings.

MSN is a worthless excuse for a search engine. Now they are even bribing people to use the LIVE search engine: http://www.getsearchperks.com/Landing.aspx?CampaignId=perks

Im still clueless why MSN is crap.  Most of you guys say its as bad as it can be.  Why?  Im only familiar with Google and Yahoo, so I have no experience yet in MSN

MSN does not do a good job of crawling the web and their algorithm allows for some questionable results to show up in the top 10.
