Live .com backlink checker command offline
While checking the backlinks of some of my sites in MSN. (It’s my monthly task) I’ve experienced a problem when you type link:www.seopinoy.com it would show no results. It will leave you a blank page. Some users are seeing some XML error like these:
“XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=link%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2F
www.msn.com&mkt=en-gb&FORM=LVCP&go.x=23&go.y=12&go=Search
Line Number 1, Column 1:”
But here’s the trick you could do in order to see your backlinks in MSN.
1. Go to http://hotbot.com
2. type “link:www.seopinoy.com”
3. Then click the MSN button in the underneath the search box. Whoala it’s done.
I hope this one helps. This problem was originally reported last March 25, 2007 and we just thought that this problem will last for few hours only but it seems it took too long than we expected. And also last weekend it was reported that MSN live search is down for few hours which returns these results:
This service is currently unavailable
Our team is working to restore service as quickly as possible.
Please try your request again later.
I think they should fix all the problems first before they will advertise and market it. It seems to be that there is still ongoing construction of the Search Engine. Well I just hope that the new search algorithm of MSN would be as competitive as Google soon.
