Get Your Site Indexed By MSN in Less Than 24 Hours
I just came across a thread in DigitalPoint forums mentioning a tactic to get a site indexed by MSN in less than 24 hours.
1) Go to MSN.com
2) Search for domain or sub domain and if isn’t indexed yet, it’ll show no results.
3) Then, you look down, there’s a sentence there saying: “Send the address to us” — click that, follow what it says, enter your URL and verification code…
4) Then wait for the next day and re-checked your URL with MSN.
Many members pointed out that they have used this trick successfully to get their sites indexed by MSN Search within 24- 48 hours.
MSN Reinclusion Request
A Digital Point member started a thread titled MSN Reinclusion Request discussing how he tried to get his de-listed site re-included in MSN search.
I sent a communication to MSN. Using their Support Form located at:
http://support.msn.com/contactus.aspx?productkey=search&locale=en-us
About 12 pm on 04/28, less than 15 hours after I submitted my request, a MSN Support Representative sent me a very personal and informative reply.
The representative stated that she understood my concern and apologized for the inconvenience. The e-mail stated that websites are sometimes removed if they are reported as spam. I was instructed to send an e-mail message to webspam@microsoft.com if I believed my site was reported incorrectly.
In addition, I was instructed to visit the link below for further information on how to reinclude my website in MSN Search index.

He further points out:
As you can see, MSN does have a reinclusion procedure. To summarize, the procedure is to e-mail your request for reinclusion to webspam@microsoft.com
Finally he was given the following reason that caused his site to be delisted:
Your site appears to be participating in a link exchange and has some link stuffing on the site which is considered spam. Please contact us once you have removed the spam.
Supposing that he has corrected the above problem, they will re-include his site.
MSN Search Showing Weird Variable Name
Via a WebmasterWorld thread titled Strange text on search.msn.com, MSN Search is showing a weird variable name.
LOC_GEOREDIR_GOTO_SITE
He mentions:
I have no idea what this means. FYI I am on a mac (using camino to browse) and have never recieved any crap that I have noticed. This one has me a little worried.
RustyBrick points out that he saw the same thing using Safari.
I saw the same thing searching using Safari this AM. Seems to be gone now.
For me, it is still appearing even with Internet Explorer and FireFox on Windows. It looks like some variable name for showing Ads or redirecting to the advertiser’s site.
