MSN/Live.com SEO Basics
Perhaps MSN/Live.com (Microsoft) lags behind Google as a
search engine of choice, however, there are some pluses to being listed with
MSN/Live.
Always note that Your SEO efforts could be trashed (in seconds):
-
If you just happen to create something on your web site that is not
acceptable to MSN bot(s) or
-
Perhaps some page(s) on your site is
reported as SPAM (perhaps by a competitor?)
-
What happens when you create some new way of
organizing content that confuses the bots? (i.e. your
site drops in from the search results after you publish your new
organization...)
-
some other Murphy moment, event, ...
There is no guarantee for search placement (even for paid search!) - best to
study/research the search engines - or hire a consultant. :)
-
MSN/Live notes for
webmasters - tools to troubleshoot the crawling and indexing of
your web sites; submit sitemaps and view statistics for your web
sites. You will need to sign up for a free webmaster account.
-
Report search result SPAM pages (i.e. you
follow the MSN/Live search link and wind up on some really strange,
unrelated web site.) Note - the page/site may not be SPAM
but it also may not be properly indexed by the search engine... Use
the link on the bottom of the MSN/Live search results that goes to “Tell
us about it" or the "Feedback" link.
-
Advertise
