Link Checking shut down by Live Search (MSN)

Filed Under Apple, Computers, Internet, M$, Mac, SEO | Comments Off

Webmasters, if you are planning on using the advanced query searches at Live search don’t bother. It is not just broken it has been shut down. According to a blog entry from Eytan Seidman the lead program manager at Live Search. It was shut down because of too many automated queries.

For those of you who use some of the advanced query syntax in our search engine such as link:, linkdomain: and inurl:, you may have noticed that this functionality has been recently turned off…mass automated usage for data mining. So for now, we have made the tough call to block all queries with these operators…get this back online as soon as possible … Keep an eye on our blog for updates.

MSN once again lives up to its reputation. I was starting to use Live Search more and more and even enjoying it. Oh well, Once again Google and Yahoo! leaves MSN in the dust. Now all I have to do is keep going to the Live Search Weblog to find out if I can use all their search engines features. Man they are really pushing Longhorn (excuse me I mean Vista) there. I guess they had better. Once Leopard is released, M$ OS X Longhorn Vista will loose its luster.

late,
Gary
