Taking Too Long To Get Picked Up by MSN

[fisher318]

Hello,

It seems as if it has been taking months to get picked up by MSN, does anybody have any input in regards to this?

Thanks

MSN is still delivering some old looksmart listings, and also the inktomi database I thought. The ink in it's old form does not exist anymore, I don't think you can get a url in msn now. They will be launching their new search engine soon. The msnbot has been out and about for awhile now. You simply have to wait it out.

Ok, I have been waiting patiently for the new MSN search. I checked the preview search here:

http://techpreview.search.msn.com/

for the keyword phrase "California Mortgage Company" and I come up #1. However, when I go to MSN.com, next to their search bar there is a link for "New MSN Search". And when I use that search I don't come up. I am just hoping you can verify that the "New MSN Search" listed on MSN.com is not the same as the new directory they are about to launch.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Fisher, the new search will not be ready until the end of the year according to MSN. Right now they are using the Yahoo results for the most part. The MSNbot is crawling around in earnest, but nothing is being used as of yet.
