Now that MSN is powering Yahoo, I want to get more pages indexed on MSN. I was wondering if anyone has any tips for how to increase MSNBot crawl rate? Through my own logs I see that MSN crawls around 35k pages per day. But this pales in comparison to Google's 200k/day. Google WMT has a tool to increase the crawl rate but MSN does not have this (yet). Any suggestions for ways to increase the quantity of pages crawled from MSNbot? Helps to go to the source:
