Site still not being indexed, why?

Question

I first submitted http://www.thecountryinn.co.uk on the 28 August 2008, it was verified using LiveSearchSiteAuth.xml and the sitemap was submitted at the same time. Now 2 months on and the site is still not being indexed by Live Search (perhaps it should be called Dead Search). The site was submitted with Google & Yahoo at the same time and I had no problem with it being indexed in these search engines.

I run daily statistics for this site and the reports tells me the MSNBot crawled the site and it has done since the site was submitted. What I don't understand is, if the site is being crawled by MSNBot why am I unable to find the site in Live Search.

Why is Live Search associated with Google & Yahoo as a major player in search engines when it clearly is not. I have noticed that if Brett Yount gets hold of these threads that the associated sites seem to get indexed, but why are they not indexed automatically?

Hi Alan,

the issues tend to very from site to site, but I've had good luck getting the sites indexed. I have submitted several URLs for you too. If you don't see anything in 10 days, let me know and I will dig deeper.

Thanks!

My site is no longer in MSN live search, although the company and site have been up for 10 years. Any idea why? http://www.hotdigtal.net
