I have talked about How to Add Google Sitemap to WordPress.com Blog and Submit Your WordPress.com Blog to Yahoo a while ago. Lately I have tried to submit my WordPress.com blog to MicroSoft Network (MSN) but it failed to read the page that I’ve created. So this post is mainly for self-hosting blog/website only. If you want to continue, I will show you how you can submit you self-hosting blog/website to MSN. Submitting your blog/website to search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN can help them index your blog/website efficiently. Thus increasing the visibility of you blog/website to your visitors. Before you want to continue you need to sign up an account with MSN.
- Sign up Webmaster Center Live Search here and it is Free
- Next log in to that account, click on Add a site button to add your blog/website.
- Fill in the information in the empty fields. See the screenshot below:
Click Submit button to submit your blog/website to it. - It will generate a piece of code that you can add to your blog/website <HEAD> section. See below:
Once you have done that, click on OK button to proceed and that is it. If you want to add more blogs/websites, then you just have to repeat the above steps. - Click on each web address that you’ve just submitted, MSN Webmaster Tools will show you how many pages are being indexed in Summary. Results for page not found (404) are shown under Crawl Issues. Backlinks will show you who are linking to your blog/website. Outbound Links will show you web pages your blog/website are linking to. See also Keywords and Sitemaps below:
- Now you can observe how your blog/website does by log in your account regularly.
