Is MSN sandboxing?

Is it true?

Hello,
I dont know if this thread has been started before, anyways:

I have 2 new websites (about 3-4 months old), for which I have done some heavy optimization in the past month.
When I check the backlinks on MSN, I can see quite a few of them, but when I type my website's URL - there is nothing. At the same time, I have a 2 years old website which ranks great.

It seems to me as a sandbox, but I would like to see if anybody else has experience the same thing...

Nope, just the opposite for me. New sites with only a handful of links get in quick. But I have a couple of old established sites with tons of links that have never seen msnbot come by.

I agree, MSN seems to reward (perhaps too much ) new content, regardless of the age of the site.

MSNBot visited my index.php a few days ago, but NOTHING else.
