Dropped by MSN

[webmaster]

I would not change anything I think MSN is doing some major tweaking right now, so waiting it out is best option

You are not alone

Some of our sites stayed exactly where they were, some moved up some moved down but I am not convinced that this is over yet.

I have about 6 domains experiencing the same thing...very high rankings...now no home page listing at all...but my internal pages still rank.

My homepage is back on MSN's index as of 9/29/05. Although not in the rankings is at least back indexed and cashed. I also received the following email from MSN which I appreciate:

Hello George,


Thank you for writing to MSN Search Technical Support. I apologize for the delay in response.

This is ***** and I understand that your website has been indexed on MSN Search and now it is not. I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you.

I tried checking your site using the keyword "*********" and I found them still listed on the MSN Search result page. I have included the search result page link for your reference:

http://search.msn.com/results.aspx************
MSNBot is continuously crawling the web, so our index continuously changes. Sites are added and previously indexed sites may be dropped from the index. For example, if your server is offline or there is another access problem when MSNBot tries to crawl your site, MSNBot cannot gather the information needed until a later time.

There are many design and technical issues that can prevent MSNBot from indexing your site. If you have followed our guidelines and still do not see your site, you may want to work with a search engine optimization company or submission service. These companies may provide tools that will help you improve your site so we can list it.

You can also refer to the link below for more information about indexing your site:

Moreover, I have forwarded your concern to the MSN Search Product Specialist Team for proper attention. Rest assured that we are doing everything within our means to remedy the situation.

It is comments such as yours, which greatly help us in guiding our ongoing efforts in improving our site.

MSN Search has comprehensive online help available to you. For more information about features, functions, and issues, click the "Help" link at the top of any MSN Search page.

You are valuable at MSN and we look forward to providing you with consistent and effective service. If you have any inquiries, please do not hesitate to write back.

How about that?

I thought I was getting hammered for something. I too was completely dropped out of MSN only to find that today I'm on the first page for many of my keywords. So for now I'm happy with MSN.

Yep I'm back too, but with not as good rankings as I had before.
