MSN Does Like Me
If there is one thing that I have leant already in my battles with the major search engines, then that is to have patience, patience and more patience.
As far as having the pages of this blog indexed in the major search engines, Google and Yahoo have been family friends, MSN has been distant relatives. I have highlighted my MSN woes in two previous posts MSN does not like me and problems adding website rss feed to My MSN and I was beginning to give up on the giant.
Well the good news is that I just managed to add my RSS feed to MyMSN. Unlike in many, many previous attempts, the search facility in MyMSN was now actually able to find this blogs feed in it’s database i.e. http://tomakemoneyonline.net/feed/. Once found in the search results, a simple click and my feed is now part of my own personal page. So this site’s feed is now subscribed to in both of Microsoft’s engines i.e MSN and Live.
So why has this problem resolved itself after 4 weeks of frustration? I can only assume that the time factor has contributed in this instance, plus MSN has picked up my site feed from other sources and other engines. Just goes to show that patience is a necessity where the search engines are concerned.
N.B. As a side-note, the number of pages of this site indexed by MSN has now risen from a handful to number 38 in total. That’s still a long way off from the hundreds of pages indexed in Google and Yahoo but it’s a start.
