LinkBack URL
About LinkBacksWell, my forums are rocking with google, doing ok with yahoo, but doing really poorly with MSN.
I even tried adding my site to their directory (costing $70 a year), but nothing I do helps me get more pages/more referrals from MSN.

No, but like how google treats sites that are in dmoz, someone suggested that MSN would favour sites that are in the MSN directory

I agree, MSN is a desperate whore and will take on everything submitted to it.
I have found, too, that if you keeps ads off your sites (adsense) until you are listed, MSN and Yahoo are friendlier..

Weird, I didn't think of that. Anyone else experience this ? That would explain why MSN hates my site. Originally Posted by majordude

I've never had good luck with MSN indexing my sites, with or without ads, with or without vbSEO. :(

It has taken about 2 months for MSN to start spidering and indexing my site. But, I went from 2 referrals last month to about 1000 this month from MSN, and it grabbed about 2 gb worth of pages this month.
I think I am finally cracking MSN!
