How to get a site in MSN these days?

the best way in

[stavs]

Hi folks

I'd like to get a site into search.MSN.com. Previously - over 18 months agao - I achieved this with two sites by paying through the nose for a Looksmart (god, the irony of that name) listing. This was a bit of a gamble, but the position of one of the sites in the SERPS is top 10 and it doesn't seem to move (so, not bad).

Anyway, much water has passed under the bridge and I've just realised how much things have changed - especially in the way Looksmart operates.

So what is the best way in to MSN these days?

thanks for any advice.

It really depends on how competitive the keywords are, if it's not to bad then ink will still get you in

via positiontech?

That’s who I use and so far I've no complaints other than having to pay :)

Maybe if you wait long enough [webmasterworld.com] you won't have to worry about this...

stavs - Microsoft bCentral has a free Inktomi submission page:

[submitit.bcentral.com...]

Though they don't say it until you try to submit several pages, you are allowed only one page per domain per 24 hours, and they do keep track.

I usually wait on Inktomi submissions until I have an ODP listing or some good links coming into the site. I have always gotten in, though I've sometimes had to wait a chunk of time. Lately, Inktomi has been pretty fast... at least about updating sites that are already in.

Using a paid page does also give you a help in understanding on how to get a page ranking in ink, so maybe just pay for one page get it ranking then wait for hopefully slurp to collect the rest
