Sitemaps: Ask and Microsoft are Slooooow 
« Porno Keywords From Google | Main | Wikia Search - Not Happening »
Microsoft and Ask have recently joined Google and Yahoo in their Sitemaps support. Simpy has been using sitemaps functionality for a while now, and 4 days ago the sitemaps info was also added to its robots.txt. However, guess what? Since then, only Googlebot and Yahoo Slurp have paid Simpy's sitemap files a visit. Since the beginning of this month, Googlebot picked the main sitemap file 4 times, while Yahoo's Slurp picked it up 10 times (split between their U.S. Slurp and their China Slurp).
Ask and Microsoft are nowhere to be found. No wonder they are losing web search market share!
