I have a site that is registered with both Google and Yahoo and got top search results with both. But I can't seem to get it registered with MSN, even though I submitted it over 2 months ago.

Anyone else had this problem or know why this may of happened?

my bing xp is limited. they seem to take a lot of weight from your server location and keyword placements... not just links.

Or are you saying its not even indexed?

But does anyone actually use MSN for searching? I bet it's a tiny %age

[lazytycoon]

15%ish offf the top of my head. So maybe about 9m people in the UK...

Not sure how accurate this is but http://www.statowl.c...share_trend.php shows about 2%. According to several sites I host this is more like 1%. I'm open to be proved wrong but I can't see 15% being anywhere near accurate.

Bing is only going to get more and more popular. People are saying it will get upto about 30% of the search engine market within 2 years. With that in mind I think it is important to optimise your site for all search engines. Not sure how bing works out its rankings. Anyone know?

I'd focus on other things. It's no big deal if you miss out on the 5 odd percent of searches that are carried out on MSN.

MSN uses Bing search, so the best way to submit your website is at this URL along with a sitemap. and just wait. It does take longer for them to come to your site compared to the others.

You do have some good quality links?

By adding links to your website, all of the major search engines will automatically and quickly find and index the pages of your website without the need to manually submit it.
