Hello *****************,

Thank you for writing to MSN Search Technical Support.

I am ****** and I understand that your website is not indexed in the MSN Search engine. I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.

While MSNBot is able to crawl many of the billions of web pages on the Internet, it can crawl them all. For example, if your site’s link structure does not have links to each page on your site, MSNBot may not be able to find all of the pages of your site. To determine whether we have encountered links to a particular page or domain, you can use the “link:” or “linkdomain:” search operator. Also, higher quality pages are more likely to be crawled than lower quality pages. For more information about search operators please visit http://search. msn.com/docs/help.aspx?t=SEARCH_REF_AdvSrchOperators.htm

Additionally, not every page that is crawled is indexed. For a site to be indexed, it must meet specific standards for content, design, and technical implementation. To help ensure that your site is indexed, confirm that it adheres to our design guidelines located at http://search. msn.com/docs/siteowner.aspx?t=SEARCH_WEBMASTER_REF_GuidelinesforOptimizingSite.htm

To see which pages we have indexed from a site you can use the “site:” search operator. For more information about site indexing please visit http://search. msn.com/docs/siteowner.aspx?t=SEARCH_WEBMASTER_REF_GettingSiteIndexed.htm

Generally, if you follow these guidelines and MSN has encountered links to your site, you do not need to submit your URL for MSNBot to reach your site. However, if your site still does not appear in our index (using the “site:” search operator) you may want to submit your site’s URL to us at http://search. msn.com/docs/submit.aspx.

Please note that submitting your site does not guarantee that your site will be indexed, it simply help us locate your site so that MSNBot can try to crawl it.

You are valuable at MSN and we look forward to providing you with consistent and effective service. If you have other inquiries, please do not hesitate to write back.

Sincerely,

Verbatim: Search firms surveyed on privacy – 7 questions for google,

Declan McCullagh and Elinor Mills Staff Writer for cnet writes,

Google were asked 7 questions regarding privacy issues, especially with the recent problems with censorship in china and the US Subpoena for search data these questions were important,

Google spokesman Steve Langdon

Q: What information do you record about searches? Do you store IP addresses linked to search terms and types of searches (image vs. Web)?
(Editor’s note: Google pointed to its list of Frequently Asked Questions on Google.com, which says in detail what is collected and stored.)

Given a list of search terms, can you produce a list of people who searched for that term, identified by IP address and/or cookie value?
Langdon: Yes. We can associate search terms with IP addresses and cookies, but not with users’ names unless they are registered with Google.

Have you ever been asked by an attorney in a civil suit to produce such a list of people? A prosecutor in a criminal case?
Langdon: We do not share information about that. (Editor’s note: Google did acknowledge, however, that it has had legal requests for Gmail e-mail.)

Given an IP address or cookie value, can you produce a list of the terms searched by the user of that IP address or cookie value?
Langdon: Yes.

Have you ever been asked by an attorney in a civil suit to produce such a list of search terms? A prosecutor in a criminal case?
Langdon: We do not share information about that.

Do you ever purge these data, or set an expiration date of, for instance, two years or five years?
Langdon: We keep data for as long as it is useful. There are several uses, several of which are described in our privacy policy and FAQ. There isn’t a specified period.

Do you ever anticipate offering search engine users a way to delete that data?
Langdon: We have no plans to announce such a product. However, users can use Google without a cookie.

Google and microsoft to pay compensation to verizon for usage of their network,

Google to pay verizon regarding usage of verizon internet network,

“There’s no such thing as a free lunch on the Internet, according to Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg, who said Thursday that providers of bandwith-intensive Internet applications, including Google and Microsoft, should “share the cost” of operating broadband networks.
According to Seidenberg, Verizon and Google are already talking about how such compensation might be structured, striking a tone far more diplomatic than AT&T CEO Ed Whitacre, who last year openly criticized Internet application providers like Google and Voice over IP provider Vonage Holdings.
“We talk to them [Google] all the time, and they understand the issue,” said Seidenberg, in a question-and-answer period following his keynote speech Thursday at the Consumer Electronics show here. Google, which already offers a bevy of online apps like email, instant messaging, voice and satellite map searches, is expected to announce a video-download service here Friday. (Google could not be reached for comment immediately.) “

Vanessa Fox, Google Engineering reports on effect ways of moving domain names,

We had already given good suggestions on moving domains in our blog,

Nothing is more effective than getting information from a google employee, Matt cutts senior google engineer already discussed on 301 redirects ( http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/the-little-301-that-could )

Now vanessa fox reports in sitemaps blog on effective 301 redirect,

Here an extract from google sitemaps blog

“Recently, someone asked me about moving from one domain to another. He had read that Google recommends using a 301 redirect to let Googlebot know about the move, but he wasn’t sure if he should do that. He wondered if Googlebot would follow the 301 to the new site, see that it contained the same content as the pages already indexed from the old site, and think it was duplicate content (and therefore not index it). He wondered if a 302 redirect would be a better option. I told him that a 301 redirect was exactly what he should do. A 302 redirect tells Googlebot that the move is temporary and that Google should continue to index the old domain. A 301 redirect tells Googlebot that the move is permanent and that Google should start indexing the new domain instead. Googlebot won’t see the new site as duplicate content, but as moved content. And that’s exactly what someone who is changing domains wants. He also wondered how long it would take for the new site to show up in Google search results. He thought that a new site could take longer to index than new pages of an existing site. I told him that if he noticed that it took a while for a new site to be indexed, it was generally because it took Googlebot a while to learn about the new site. Googlebot learns about new pages to crawl by following links from other pages and from Sitemaps. If Googlebot already knows about a site, it generally finds out about new pages on that site quickly, since the site links to the new pages. I told him that by using a 301 to redirect Googlebot from the old domain to the new one and by submitting a Sitemap for the new domain, Googlebot could much more quickly learn about the new domain than it might otherwise. He could also let other sites that link to him know about the domain change so they could update their links.”

seo blog team,

Can google adsense and yahoo publisher network ads be published on same page,

Everybody who runs contextual ads on their site will have a doubt whether to publish adsense and YPN on same site / page,

Adsense advisor says adsense and YPN can be published on same site but not on same page,

this is what he said in webmasterworld.com

“YPN ads fall are considered competitive ads, as any other contextually targeted ads, or ads that mimic Google ads in appearance. For a more detailed description, see our policies page (http://google.com/adsense/) ‘Competitive ads and services’.
While you can use both AdSense and YPN on the same site, our program policies prohibit publishers from using them on the same page. “

Google talk now open generation – the seo blog news,

Google talk, google’s mservice now offers open generation a new way to communicate with your friends using different IDs,
http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2006/01/open-federation-for-google-talk.html

As google says you are allowed to interact with users with any ID,

on the help page

“We currently support open federation with any service provider that supports the industry standard XMPP protocol. This includes Earthlink, Gizmo Project, Tiscali, Netease, Chikka, MediaRing, and thousands of other ISPs, universities, corporations and individual users. “

What google says

“We’ve just announced open federation for the Google Talk service. What does that mean, you might be wondering. No, it has nothing to do with Star Trek. “Open federation” is technical jargon for when people on different services can talk to each other. For example, email is a federated system. You might have a .edu address and I have a Gmail address, but you and I can still exchange email. The same for the phone: there’s nothing that prevents singular users from talking to Sprint users.”

The amazing Google Proxy – Google’s proxy helps safe surfing of the web,

its Amazing to see Google offering proxy services, Though this was a bit old news I just heard of it, it offers safe browsing, though it doesnt hide the IP but still it prevents system from potential viruses, spywares, trojans, adware, malware, scumwares etc,
