can i submit sitemap to msn?

[cnu]

Is there any way to submit my sitemap to msn?

So, you have a sitemap on site already? (Check out sitemaps.org - Home for more info). Then just go to Live Search URL Submission as a manual submit for MSN Live Search to crawl your site, but I'm sure in time it would anyway... if not by just simply having the link in your signature on this forum would do it.

Add this line to your robots.txt file: Sitemap: http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml
I always put it in the first line and be sure to leave an empty line under it and you will not get any errors.
It's been posted many time I couldn't find one though. yahoo, goog and msn all recognize this as a sitemap discovery tool.

Ask also understands robots.txt sitemap discovery. In general, it allows any search engine to discover your XML sitemap.

MSN, Yahoo, and Google say they share the same site map format. Google has a dedicated webmaster control panel that indicates the status of the site map, Yahoo uses a Beta version, and MSN simply reads whichever site map you have, regardless that it might be a Google SM, or, a Yahoo SM, or any SM. Yahoo and Google each require site verification tags and confirmation, MSN does not. There is some discussion that MSN/Live will deploy a Deep Matrix web traffic report since Microsoft recently purchased Deep Matrix. That may well lead to a 'Live" web traffic interface that could presumably allow you to track web traffic to your site in real time. I use Deep Matrix now, and I only wish it was half as accurate as the traffic it reports. But, it is a very nice feature.
