Default MSN and YAHOO cannot get indexed.

One our our clients has a web site we created called www.moto-mania.co.uk and it went live at the end of November 2004.

After checking some of the stats yesterday (11 January 2005) we found that it was getting visitors from Google, Ask Jeeves, AOL, and even Dogpile and Ntl World.

However it has yet to get any visitors from MSN or Yahoo.

Does anyone know why this could be?

Can anyone see a problem with the web site (www.moto-mania.co.uk)??

Or are Yahoo and MSN currently have problems with their search engines?

These things take time. Yahoo! and Inktomi (who provides the current results to MSN) are really really slow in indexing.

If it's any help, the main page of the site is indexed Yahoo! now and is in the MSN Search Beta.

In addition to what bhartzer said. I don't think MSN and Yahoo like having the session ID in the URL such as many of your sub pages have. Also unlike google yahoo places huge importance on content, so the more content on each page the better.

I would work on getting links from sites that you know are in the Yahoo index and rank well for something. If possible you should remove the session id from the url.

How do you know that it is indexed in Yahoo! ?

I have just done a search for 'moto-mania.co.uk' using my yahoo toolbar and it did not find the web site.
