Live is Dead :)

Live is dead in my site.It doesn't index my site.I wasn't going to post this as being indexed by live won't help me in any way as nearly no one uses it in my country, but I decided to solve this problem.What can be the problem with Live?When I post something all of G, Y and Technorati's bots come but MSN never comes(It is not a pinging problem, it never comes).I saw MSNbot only one time in my site than never.Can it be because I don't use keywords meta tag?

Do you have backlinks from websites already getting spidered by Live?

It has about 150 links from forum signatures and blogs.

Well consider getting links from real content websites. Forum signatures have been know to not give much backlinks credit at all.

Are blogs good to have a link from?Also I have 27 validation errors in my homepage.Can it be because of this?

Had to guess on the validation errors unless I look at them.

Blogs are fine to get links from as long as they are relevant, dont use the nofollow attribute and your not comment spamming.

Thanks incrediblehelp.If you want to see, here is my validation errors: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...rhad.kayyo.com
In MSN's pages about inclusion into their index they say pages should be as errorless as possible.http://help.live.com/Help.aspx?marke...ulIndexing.htm
Now I will start to look for blogs that I will be able to write sth.

MSN and Live are anything but dead.
The stat sources I review show Google and Yahoo diminishing over time while both MSN and Live have been gaining.

Stats.
Yesterday my stats showed that two MSNBots with different IP addresses (202.96.51.148,202.96.51.156)were crawling in my site in the same time in the same page.Strange.
