Listed in Live Search again

In December 2006 our units conversion site was banned and unlisted from Microsoft Live Search (also known as MSN). The reason for being unlisted remained unclear for me. Our site simply silently disappeared from all MSN search results as if there were no such site at all. I tried to contact Microsoft to clarify the issue. Unfortunately I did not get any reply.

That was when I wrote about this problem in my blog. I put a link to my blog from www.convert-me.com and got quite a lot of feedback. I was very much impressed by the support I received. People contacted Microsoft and asked to re-include the site to the index. There was no reply however, so I thought it would not give any results.

However, the miracle happened. Something silently clicked again inside Microsoft and yesterday convert-me.com started to re-appear in their search results. At the time of this writing there are only about 120 pages of our site indexed, but I hope the number of indexed pages is going to increase.

I am sure this re-inclusion would not be possible without help and support of our visitors. I very much appreciate their help!

Im having the same problem with my site www.egsmartsys.com. Hope MS fixes their bugs, since they haven't tell me what's wrong.

Being a fellow blogger, all I can say is "shit happens"
