MSN dropping all links

8 out 11 of my sites have dropped all links from MSN. Is anybody having the same result?

Not with me. In fact, my site just keeps getting a better rank. (I was first # 23, then 17, now 15)

I never worry about Yahoo & MSN.
I'm rock solid, #1 in many keywords (because I only focus my county & surrounding cities)

dont be bothered to much of what is msn has done..
it will come after a few days... optimize your pages and get a fresh content... and thats it..

the software I use to check my competitors as well as my link popularity has dropped to 0 for every page I try with MSN..your not the only one. However, my site is still #1 in the SERPs..Must just be a temporary thing..But yes, I've noticed this as well and not only with my site, with all my competitors as well

you are not the only one. One of my personal sites had it's index and all it's pages dropped from MSN. Still trying to figure out why, its been about 3 weeks now.

My story is the exact OPPOSITE...MSN is increasing for me.

What is extremely weird is that if I do a backlink search on google it's says that I only have 1 link???????

in total I have around 650 backlinks from MSN, Yahoo, Altavista, Hotbot?

What gives? Can someone make sense of this why I would only have 1 backlink from google?

I still don't understand?

my URL is http://www.rebelnetworks.com

I had just the opposite. google is doing that to my site now.
its been 3 - 4 weeks. whats up?

Same goes for me !

sorry, maby a stupid question... but how do you se if your in MSN index and what number i link line?

If you want to see if your site is indexed in the search bar type: site:yourdomain.com

If you wanto see backlinks in Googe type: link:domain.com
in MSN type: link:www.domain.com -domain:www.domain.com
Yahoo type: link:http://www.domain.com
AlltheWeb Type: link:www.domain.com
Teoma type: http://www.domain.com site:-www.domain.com
and
Altavista type: linkdomain:www.domain.com


Update: It took about 2-3 weeks before MSN got my backlinks back up but now I am seeing an increase in link popularity. I noticed a certain IP constantly browsing the different parts of my site (the site uses a web portal) so I did a whois only to find it is Microsoft, seems the MSN bot just doesnt want to leave..no complaints here been like this for 3 days now

great advice MidwestMerchant

NO!!! I just lost 100 links from MSN Maybe they will come back?

About incomnig link decrease.

It happens also to me when i am in a strong link exchange campaign. The back links are droping in number, but after 2-3 come back.

This hapens when you exchange many links in short time, and MSN like all other major SE tend to put your backlinks in a sand box, and after a time they validate your backlinks.

I'm noticing some slight drops as well. NOthing major though. THey're running some beta engine now I believe.
