29 recognised backlinks from yahoo, not relevant none from google not relevant and a PR of 0. not relevant I've done the same thing many times; judge the SERPs in one SE using the yardstick of another SE. PageRank only means something with the Google SERPs. MSN does not use Google's PageRank as a factor in ranking it's index. Backlinks from Google and Yahoo are also meaningless in regards to the MSN SERPs. I know you don't want to hear that, but it's reality. All I know about masternumerology.com at this point is: Creation Date: 13-Feb-2007 Registrant's Address: West Bengal,700046, IN MSN backlinks: 11 MSN SERP: #4 checking from the Philippines. If the OP is in NZ, and just I and he see it in the top 10, that must mean something, but I dunno what. Bottom line is no one knows. See, tens of thousands of webmasters, many of which are *very* smart geeky types, have been studying Google for five to ten years. Meanwhile, no one has studying Yahoo or MSN. If someone has, they are not talking. (I probably wouldn't talk either). have a nice day, Bompa
If targeting MSN - what are tbe best SEO tactics? What are the top 3 things in order that make a big difference to MSN as opposed to other SEs?
even i am thinking the same. though my blog gets easily figured out in yahoo and google, msn is not like that. so i was thinking same.
It's not in the Top 10, thus it's spam!!!! Come on people, that was too easy for the spammer. Make it difficult at least. Arghh.
Results are different depending on where you live (for a searched word on all engines I'm aware of), also as stated earlier live.com seems to give weight to new sites, then drop them down if they dont build backlinks.
- good SEO (description & keywords META included) - very related title (3 times numerology in it ...) - good domain name ending in numerology.com
Its happen just becoz of the domain name.. It has helped this site 60% to achieve the goal through the keyword>> 'numerology'.
