Have Front Page 2003, site held by MSN with front page
server extensions, saved files as .htm not .html -
bcentral says I am using front page extensions, when I
type in direct name www. it comes up and functioning but
when I do a search thru MSN search bar with name of
company - it does not show up, it use to when I had the
one page deal. I do an exact search on the banner name
and still does not show in search. What am I doing
wrong? should I be saving as .html and have them point to
the index.html cause it does not work with index.htm, it
has to be something real simple - please help.
 
This is the code for index.htm
<html xmlns:mso="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:msdt="uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882">

Have you made sure that the site was submitted to msn search? If you can get
to the page by typing in the domain name, (like www.microsoft.com) without
any problems then don't worry. Make sure you submit the site to the various
search engines because that's the only way they get listed. The one page
deal could have been a special case possibly, but search engines must
actually spider the site first (then wait a month or so before they do
anything with the data) and index it into the database for it to be visible.

Hope this helps,
