How to get Spidered and Indexed by MSN?

[shilmy]

Hi,

My site, designerbags.info, got spidered almost everyday by msnbot, and the index are updated almost immediately (especially the homepage).

But msnbot seems never crawled my others site. I already submit the site to MSN, put a link on designerbags.info homepage and my others website. But it still do not crawled my sites.

Any idea on how to be spidered by MSN?

MSN (and all the rest) are a tricky lot sometimes. It is possible, since designerbags is itself rather new and in the crummy penalty box phase (0 PR, etc) that you are not seeing a deeper link run from bots to your second site based on that.

I could be wrong, but you might consider having a friend or business partner/affiliate with an established site link to your second site, and my guess is you'll see it indexed within 30 days.

Just wait a bit longer. My new site ( launched jan '05 ) gets indexed after more than one month. Not just on MSN but on google too ( took 2 months before it gets indexed ). When did you submit your site to msn?

May be you are right, patience is the key here. I submit to MSN about 2 weeks ago.

But, seeing MSNbot crawling everyday to my site (designerbags.info) and update the index, got me to think that may be I should take advantage of it, by puting link to my other sites. ...but the bot didn't take the bait.

You're probably right, I remember submitted designerbags.info when MSN is still in beta. It get crawled and indexed not long after that.

The best way to get spidered is to simply submit your website to as many directories as possible. Search engines will index your pages through backlinks form other sites.

Find a site which ranks well on MSN for your given keyword. If you can get a link from it, this is a sure way to get indexed and daily by MSN. I bought a link from MSN's #1 listing for a holiday. I am now indexed daily as well as ranking in the top 20 for that keyword with just one link and content on a site that less than 2 months old.

I don't think there is any sure way to get spydered! I have a site that has been a PR6 in Google (now a 5), it shows over 8,000 backlinks in Yahoo, and 2,645 in MSN. The site is an extremely popular heavy traffic site - getting over 200,000 searches a month from google alone.

I have tried every way possible to get spydered by MSN to no avail. I contacted support and they said I was not being penalized and that I should submit the site vis their submission form. Still no MSNBOT.

Ironically, I have 30+ other sites and none of them have been spydered. Yet I designed a new site for a friend the other day, loaded it on the same server and it was spydered and in the index within a week.....weird stuff!!

I believe the best way to get spidered is to put an link on some site visited frequently by search engines. I have a site visited almost everyday by google. So every time I build a new site, I put a link there. Usually it will be spidered in the next day.
