This has been the case for over a year I believe.
It took Google a long time to properly sort out redirects and their effects, and Yahoo very much longer.
Way over a year, apparently, more like 3 that I could find reference to. That’s more than long enough to get it "figured out". Somethings WRONG at Microsoft search if they really CAN’T follow them.So NOBODY has any thoughts on why this is the case, or what we can do about getting pages back in the Microsoft serps? I’m surprised...
I have seen a similar issue with many sites that are not redirects. They perform well on Google and Yahoo, but are nowhere to be found in MSN results. Also, only the home page is indexing in MSN ... excuse me, Microsoft Live Search. :-) Adding to this confusion, most of these sites were performing very well until about 2 months ago. There were no major changes to the site from month to month, so I am not sure what is going on with MSN. Thankfully, we are getting great traffic from Google and Yahoo.
It’s been a known fact that Microsoft prefers making new standards rather than follow it.
I think microsoft does things just to impress themselves.
It’s looking like they DO follow the sitemap path though, from robots.txt, but that won’t remove the old pages from their serps.
Probably they need a few more years to understand the very complex HTTP response header. Look how amateurish their spam bot, er anti-poor-man’s-cloaking-bot, fakes request headers ...
Not good, but I am sure they will eventually come around... they are all probably building a new OS or something?
Quick update - I was wrong, and Live / MSN whatever is NOT following the XML sitemap, and STILL cannot seem to index my site nearly 3 weeks later. Getting a 3 year old site into MSN should not be this damn hard and I hope MS addresses this.
