Re: Completely missing from MSN results?
We've seen the same kind of problems on MSN over the last month or more. We've designed many sites that generally performed well in MSN with no particular effort. If we did decent on-page optimization, these sites worked well in MSN. All of these sites have disappeared.
I was checking on one site today. This site does well in Y and G. It's in the top ten for many of the major keyword phrases we've targeted.
Not in MSN...If I searched MSN for the company name, the company site did show up at the top of the SERPS - So I would think that means they have at least indexed some part of the site. HOWEVER, if I search for an extremely unique 8 word phrase, the site doesn't show up in the top 50. If I put those same 8 words in quotes, my page (or references to my page) are the only things that show in the serps.
Obviously, other than searches for the company name, we've had no traffic from MSN on this site.
I'd check on that possible duplication problem. Other than that, sit tight and wait for MSN to do something right.
