Microsoft Live Search Webmaster Portal and an Invitation to the Private Beta


      Shortly after that day in March when we had to take the ?link:? operator offline, a small team was formed in Redmond. Its singular focus: to build the next-generation set of tools, content and resources for SEO professionals and webmasters (and get ?link:? back in your hands). Creatively named Webmaster Portal (we?re really good at marketing), it will be a single, friendly place to find all tools and information relating to Live Search SEO. Initially we?ll support these scenarios:
      
            Troubleshooting tools to ensure MSNBot is effectively crawling and indexing your site

            Sitemap creation, submission and ping tools

            Statistics about your website

            Consolidation of content submission resources

            New content and community resources
      
      While we expect the tools to be available publicly in late Fall, we still have some polishing to do.  In the meantime we?ve created a private beta program to let adventuresome folks get their hands on the tools sooner ? and help polish things by providing feedback. If you?re interested in participating in the beta program over the next few months, please send a mail to [email protected] to apply!
