The consensus is that either MSN is really smart or has become really slow at indexing new sites. You decide...

Forums.digitalpoint.comhttp://forums.digitalpoint.com [Forums.digitalpoint.com] Any MSN users notice a sandbox Latley: My site has been online since January and still only appears as a basic URL in a few MSN searches. I am starting to wonder whether it is because the server is based here (in Japan). Anyway, it has a lot of links (over 4000 according to MSN), the code checks out and I don't really see why it shouldn't be there when most sites seem to rank in a matter of weeks.

I just ran the keyword tool at DP, and Im now ranked for almost every phrase I could think up. Almost all of them in the top 20.

The difference with the Google version seems to be in scope: Relatively few people seem to have this problem with MSN, whereas G's version gets almost everyone. Just because sites A, B and C were listed and ranked well in days does not mean that site D is not being caught by some filter / sandbox effect.
