    Well, it's not the same as MSN 'admitting it publically'.

    Interesting finding though. I didn't think any serious search engine would be silly enough to still use those spam-friendly meta tags. Have you verified that the text is nowhere else on the page or in anchor text perhaps??

    The Relevancy/Ranking Algorithms seem to change the fastest our of all Searchings - they can't seem to decide which path they are going to take.

    It seems hard to imagine that their SERPs could really be that innovative - has not all programmatic possibities been thought of by now?

    Its in Beta testing stage so its only natural that their SERPs will change often. I haven't noticed a huge fluctuation in SERP movement.

    Interesting - they are slowing redirecting searchers to Beta MSN based on some standard (geographic , cookie???)

    They have started to get more aggressive THIS WEEK according to the MSN Blog from LAST WEEK

    msn does not seem to be giving as much weight to Link Popularity,
    but seem to have an effective way of removing Spam sites to return relevant serps.

    This is the first time in years that we have started to use them and yahoo.

    Are you sure we're referring to the same MSN here.

    Yep, I think MSN is actually doing a really good job and I've switched from using Google to MSN for my search needs.

    I agree that MSN puts more weight on page content then link popularity, yet it manages to filter out the spam.

    Really?!?!?

    I am soooooo dissapointed with MSN so far.

    It's getting better for sure, but I just couldn't use it for actual searching.

    Yahoo! is top of the pile again in terms of results - For sure.

    But to say MSN is "Catching the spam" just isn't right. It's still BY FAR, the easiest search engine to spam, and some really simple (Old) spamming techniques still work.

    I always search for things that no one in their right mind would spam for, I guess, so that could be why :D. But, MSN works for me!

    Just do a search for "backgammon" to see how easily and quickly they can be manipulated (this is an SEO contest commented on in another thread)

    It's just embarrasing.
