    Hi,
    I know you're getting this question a lot, but none of the websites I own are indexed by live.com

    I presumed that adding a site to the Webmaster Center would at least cause the search bot to index it, but apparently it doesn't.

    Currently my sites are:

    http://www.slagerijgysels.be
    http://www.carrouseldanvers.be
    http://www.websit.be

    All sites are more than 6 months old and appear correctly in Google and Yahoo. I added them to Webmaster Center at least 2 months ago. What I would really want to know is why they aren't indexed so I can fix this for future websites.

    thanks,
    Thomas

    Hi,

    Live Search is somewhat slow on picking up new sites. I submitted these using an internal tool, so maybe that will help. If it doesn't, I suggest working on your backlinks. Increasing backlinks will usually help in most cases.

    Hi Brett,
    thanks for the reply and for adding my sites.

    However, if find it very strange that adding my sites to the Webmaster Center doesn't automatically include them in the index. I also find it very strange that Live search doesn't find my sites automatically (I can understand that it can take a while, but http://www.websit.be already exists for more than 1,5 years and still isn't included).

    I understand that having many backlinks can boost my ranking, but that shouldn't effect whether or not my sites are indexed? Or does it?

    I'm not criticizing you guys, I'm just looking for a way to get my future sites included right away!

    thanks,
    Thomas

    Hi  Brett. I just wanted to thank you for your help and concern. MSN finally indexed all my pages two days ago. I have been highly ranked across the board. Page score 5 for every page! I couldn't believe it. I did real well for keyword phrases as well. 9 out of 19 product pages, I was on first page. Most the others did well too. MSN ROCKS!
