Hi... welcome to the forum!

Do you mean your linux site?

I'm seeing it indexed and cached in Yahoo and Google, but not in MSN... very odd...
The other odd thing is that your backlinks are showing in msn...

So I looked at your source code and saw lots of strange robots metatags that were non-standard or inconsistent... My feeling is that you are not indexed in msn because somehow you've told them you don't want to be!!

If I were you I would delete all of your robot/robots/revisit tags from your homepage, wait a week or two, and see what what happens...

Cheers,
Paz.

I would switch with you any day. I am #1 in msn and not yet in google.
49% share for google while 13% for msn. no brainer.

Have you checked your web logs to see if MSN bot is visiting your site?

Angry Meta tag removed

Thanks Paz for looking into my site.

I just removed all bogus meta tags for robot except these two :

<meta name="robots" content="ALL,follow">
<meta name="revisit-after" content="1 days">

I am not sure whether i should keep these, i will check after a week to find out whether msnbot going to index my site now ....

Anyway, be sure to get back to us!!

Cheers,
Paz.
