MSN recently launched their own version of a search index.  This comes following the release of a new search crawler called MSNbot.

MSN uses a Neural Network to help display results.  A Neural Network is able to learn and improve itself over time.

Submission Notes

  • You only need to submit one page from your site via the Add URL page. From there, MSN will crawl and index your page. However, your listing will be placed below the paid listings (if they exist)

  • Keyword stuffing, submitting identical pages, irrelevant keywords and hidden text are all considered spamming and will be penalized

  • Keywords in titles, meta tags and body text all add to a sites relevancy. Therefore be sure to properly optimize your site pages.
