Beta Ramp-Up

How do you suggest your site for crawling by the MSN search engine. The only thing I've been able to find is for the Overture powered suggest a site. If you do a search the top 3 results are useless. Result #1 is to sign up for submitit. Result #2 does not provide any information. and Result #3 is a Broken Link. I think result #3 is especially funny since it's titled more useful every day.

A search using the same terms on Google. Submit my Site to Google returns the information for getting yoru site crawled by google as the number one listing.

A search on the beta search engine does return results on how to add your site to the Beta search engine, so it looks like things are improving.

I checked out some SEPRs on high competitive terms: Viagra, Levitra, Propecia, Cialis and the results are spammy. Can't this be fixed?

In a recent post over at the MSN Search Blog named Beta Ramp-Up, Oshoma Momoh, General Manager, MSN Search Program Management tells us that MSN will "begin turning up the dial and direct more of our users to the Beta."...

It's delightful to have yet a third alternative in the search world (why should Google and Yahoo have all the fun?) Can we assume that this is the prelude to an MSN version of AdWords? If so, marketers will be dancing in the streets. However, I hope that MSN carefully studies the AdWords/Overture model before setting up your own service. Overture has definitely fallen to second place with all the really savvy marketers that I know. Too many stories abound of click fraud on Overture, who seems to have only its own interests at heart, and not those of its marketers, who are the source of its revenue, after all. Pretty short sighted policy!

I spent literally days searching at GOOGLE for a script to create a targeted meta search engine, getting a lot of pages without relevant information, after scrolling hundred of pages I decided to try MSN BETA, I was impressed with the results, at the first page of results I found what I was looking for, I removed Google Toolbar from my daily use workstation and I installed MSN toolbar.
My perception is that MSB Beta is returning “clean” results.

The MSN Search Beta opened to the public some time ago, but only those actively seeking it out really got to try it. MSN has routed a small number of those using the regular MSN Search site to the beta...

I can't wait for you to turn up the heat! It is refreshing to see an engine that rewards what we all know is the right thing. Provide content and let the world know.

This is great stuff!

I have tested MSN Search Beta extensively, and while the localization feature still needs work, I would not hold up its release because of that. Because of what seems to me to be the most aggressive and deep indexing program of any of the search engines, the content being returned is really fresh and relevant.

One other minor issue: For page titles that include HTML formating like a <br> within them, please include the entire text of title in the search results, not just the text before the <br> or other HTML formatting directives. It will make the search results more informative, and I am sure you already store the entire title string. Just strip out the HTML formatting and post the entire title text.

Today, a senior Microsoft MSN program manager announced in his <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/msnsearch/archive/2005/01/08/349199.aspx">blog</a> that they are switching over MSN search results to the MSN beta version from time to time to &quot;test scalab
