    Do any of the paid inclusion services get you into MSN?

    Thanx,
    Ben

    You used to be able to sign up to Inktomi, which fed the MSN database. This stopped March 1st and was replaced by Overture Site Match.

    The new Overture Site Match service has replaced the Inktomi, AltaVista and Fast paid inclusion programs.

    OSM provides results for:
    * The previous Inktomi Distribution
    * Yahoo!
    * The previous Fast Distribution
    * The previous AltaVista Distribution

    OSM is available from resellers or Overture directly.

    For a limited time, you can get $20 worth of click free per domain that you sign up with the company I work for.

    Can't you get in via Looksmart too (the cost per click can be less)?

    No. Looksmart aren't providing results to MSN any more (as far as I am aware). I keep hearing rumours that the occasional set of results on certain searches are popping up but I haven't seen them myself.

    Also, Looksmart doesn't give you Yahoo.

    I'm confused about this.

    Our listing seems to have disappeared off of MSN....only our customers who have our products know show. However, we are an Overture advertiser and have been for some time.

    Anybody know how you can get back into MSN search engine?

    I thought that MSN is refusing to use Sitematch results, or is that their beta search. I thought I read an article that msn didn't like the whole paid includion thing.

    I don't know what sitematch is...but when you contact them about their listings or click on Submit a Site they point you to Overture. But that affects the top 3 and right side of their search results and not the middle meat of their results.

    MSN stopped using Overture's Site Match listings as of July 1st. When they stopped they took our entire domain out of their listings. I am trying to figure out how to get back in too. We've sent numerous emails and even tried using our Overture account rep to get in the back door, all to no avail. I think MSN is going through a transition right now and we'll all just have to wait it out.

    Any other thoughts out there?

    Ditto on that. MSN is no longer using Site Match results.
