Will Yahoo! Slurp crawl our website if we drop SiteMatch? Our company is currently using SiteMatch to get all 7,200+ of our product pages indexed plus hundreds more static pages. Recently we implemented major SEO improvements and our Google saturation when from 800 URLs to over 18,000, effectively covering everything we're paying SiteMatch for and more. But Yahoo! Slurp doesn't seam to index our site at all. Is Slurp not crawling our site because we're a SiteMatch customer? In other words, when a site with 1,000 URLs pays SiteMatch to index 5 URLs, does SiteMatch ignore the other 9,995 URLs? If we drop SiteMatch, will Yahoo! Slurp start crawling us more? If so, how long might it take? Would we still get indexed by MSN? Aside from SiteMatch, where does MSN get its content from? Does it have it's own spider, or does it use the index created by Yahoo! Slurp or Googlebot?

Vieth, this is from an earlier thread on a related question. Perhaps this will help. [webmasterworld.com...]

technically they're separate but good luck.
