Windows Live Search has recently launched a Webmaster Tools portal, to match similar tools offered by Google and Yahoo! Make sure that your website is recognised and indexed by Windows Live Search and the NineMSN search engine by making use of these tools today.
Like Google Webmaster Tools and Yahoo! Site Explorer, Windows Live Search Webmaster Tools provides you with indexing statistics, information about keyword searches, inbound/outbound links and your domain rank.
Importantly, it also offers you the opportunity to identify a Sitemap for regular crawling by the Windows Live Search search engine – this is very important if you want to have as many pages appear in the search engine results pages as possible. You can create a Sitemap using one of the many sitemap tools available on the web – I like XML-Sitemaps.com.

NineMSN / Windows Live Search is one of the major search engines in Australia – it’s not as big as Google or Yahoo!, but it’s still important. If you don’t currently appear in NineMSN / Windows Live Search, then you can submit your URL to the search engine.
