2 of my sites dont seem to be showing on msn.co.uk.

The index page i cant find anywhere. If i type in my site www.mysite.com i can see the links page but not the index page for both sites.

MSN have been dropping use of Looksmart and Zeal directories in several places. Try these threads:

[webmasterworld.com ]
[webmasterworld.com ]
[webmasterworld.com ]

Are you listed in Inktomi? At the moment that seems to be the main way into a good position on MSN UK.

If you have a .com domain you may have a problem ever showing up well on MSN UK! You probably will do OK on MSN.com though.

on msn.com my sites are 5, and 7 for the keywords that i aim for. what i don't understand is that my sites were 1 and 4 on co.uk and now they are nowhere (this was about 2 weeks ago)

MSN has been shuffling their usage of their partners data, specifically LookSmart & Zeal.

In addition, Inktomi in the last year or so has been updating & spidering much more agressively, which could (in combination with the LookSmart changes) be the culprit of your change in position / rank / traffic.
