MSN's Sandbox??

[JackB]

A little while back when Beta just came out I didnt notice MSN having any type of sandbox effects. Now it's a different story!!

I'm noticing Sandbox effects on newly cached domains and even sandbox effects on newly cached pages within long time cached well ranking domains.

I'm not 100% sure on the long time well ranking domains becuase I tried it on one of my really good rankings sites but I also did kind of choose a somewhat competative keyword.

Has anyone tested this or has anyone seen anything like this happen in MSN?

Hi Jack, welcome. Interesting post. I will look around and let you know if anyone has noticed anything like this.

One thing to make sure you are not doing is confusing the succesful MSN-gaming efforts of others with an MSN algo property. Are you sure the site isn't listed behind all the spammers'? :p

Like I said... I will try and find some data. If anything, I have seen almost the opposite, especially with new sites that seem to have the MSN pegged. I will look forward to other thoughts on this.

I also haven't noticed this with new pages. MSN is about the only place I have a chance of ranking for new pages in fact LOL
