Microsoft announced that they will be launching the Live Search Webmaster Portal, similar to Yahoo Site Explorer and Google Webmaster Central.
Microsoft started inviting webmasters into the beta starting around August 31st of this year. I have not heard of anyone actually seeing the portal, as of yet. But that might change real soon.
Yesterday, I personally received an invite to the Live Search Webmaster Portal Beta. The email read:
On behalf of the entire Live Search Webmaster Portal Beta team, we are very happy to invite you to be one of the first beta users. We look forward to working with you over the coming months on the Live Search Webmaster Portal Beta program. Please confirm your participating webmaster/SEO manager contact(s) by sending an email to [email protected].An email invite to join the Connect site for this beta will follow shortly from [email protected] (you may want to add this address to your junk mail filter’s “Safe Senders” list). You will be asked to accept the Terms of Use for the beta program, and will then be entered into the queue for assignment of credentials to the Webmaster Portal.
Thank you again for your support of the Live Search Webmaster Portal Beta.
So I have a feeling, I will be seeing something really soon. I am still awaiting that email, so time will tell.
