MSN index

msn doesn't like my home page

I was doing really well in msn, until about 5 days ago, msn stopped seeing the title and meta description tag on my home page. It is indexing the rest of my site just fine, just not my home page.

I've checked my meta tags to make sure that they are all working just fine, this website was actually made by the founder of the company I work for using front page. I only use a simple text editor like notepad or vi. Could old front page code be causing this problem. If you want to take a look,<snip>

If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it.

thank you

I should explain a little more, when I do the site:http://www.example.com, my home page is listed last on msn and displays my title as http://www.example.com, and thats it.

I see no reason why Front Page should be your problem. Front page has many failings (well - older versions, 2003 is much better) but search engine friendliness was never one of them imho.

But if you have changed the home page of your site, then maybe it is the new code that is the problem. Check your page doesn't have w3c errors, broken links etc.
