How to submit a new site to MSN.co.uk

[plastic paddy]

MSN.co.uk's submit a site page still pushes you through to Inktomi to register new sites, but that refers you to Site Match (Which I've been told is a US only based service).

How do I submit new UK based sites to MSN??? :confused:

Dont bother ;)

Just make sure a site already in the index is linking to you.. assured and faster...

If you haven't already been greeted, then welcome to SEW forums, paddy.

MSN in the UK is still in Inktomi garb, and Ink was acquired by Yahoo last year. It's no more Inktomi Search, it's Yahoo! Search now. Down the road MSN will have their own search, but they don't yet beyond just testing.

Get inbound links, do good, balanced on-page optimization and clear, crawlable and user-friendly internal navigation - and submit to Yahoo with the free submit

I would also look for UK based directories to get listed in.... UK Nation, or even Thomson directories.... they are spidered well by Inktomi for regional sites

Aussie, Marcia and Nick - Many thanks for that - this forum is a godsend for someone like, its really making a difference........

If they don't have UK submit yet, you might as well submit to the main site. There's been a URL submit added

Marcia - Top shout on dragging up the links - very useful, although the UK version of MSN search is still on the old search - not the beta version - any idea when they may move over?
