MSN/Live Webmaster Portal In Private Beta

Remember back in March when MSN/Live took their link: operator offline? Well, theyre now one step closer to opening up that information. This evening, theyve announced a new private beta of their Webmaster Portal.

The portal will be designed to be a single, friendly place to find all tools and information relating to Live Search SEO.

Their initial support will cover:
  • 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
Slated to be available to the public this fall, the Live Search blog has opened up the private beta. Email lswmp@microsoft.com if youre interested in providing feedback on Microsofts answer to Webmaster Central and Site Explorer!

This is a promising sign that MSN/Live is really beginning to take search seriously: communicating with the SEO community is, I think, a step in the right direction. By communicating with the people who not only try to position sites in the index, but also communicate to their clients why targeting MSN/Live search is still important, Live has its own free word-of-mouth campaign.
