Live Search and SERP

Discussion in 'Bing' started by pbruessow@msn.com, Oct 24, 2007.

    Microsoft made a major change a few weeks back, and I saw a lot of webmasters complain about the drop in SERP.

    Any news or suggestions on how to improve SERP on the new "Live Search" (MSN) algorithm?

    One of my sites fell from #1 for my keywords to about 15.

    All responses appreciated! :confused:

    Looks like Microsoft changed a lot in their algorithm. Any clues how to get back up in SERP?

    I had 2 sites number 1 in serveral of my key terms now they not even on the first 3 pages im so sad i was getting 800 to over 1,000 hits a day on my combined pages for 1 domain now its droped to like 200 - 400

    i went from number 1 to number none i dont know why msn did this but its very sad im still number 1 on the uk servers and canada and australa but for the msn usa server im like on page 4..

    Wonder if the other msn search servers will follow if i lose traffic from them all itll be bad..

    There have been a few thread about this, but I haven't heard of anyone figuring out how to fix it. One of my main keywords dropped from #4 to #192, while another one went from #20 to #518.

    Even a relatively new term/page which ranked #205 in MSN last week has dropped down to #488 now. I wish I knew what was causing this free fall, but it's BAD!

    Yeah, I have been having a lot of problems also with the MSN search engine.

    Around the 2nd of October about 20-30 of my websites dropped out of the index... losing around 40% of Google Adsense revenue :-( and a lot of traffic.

    Most of these were .info domains and a few .com.au domains.

    I have also noticed as of today about 3 have come back to the results but none of them were .info.

    This is not necessarily true, I can still see plenty of .info domains listed just seems a heap of domains have dropped out, all sorts in fact not just .info.

    The Webmasters Submission for MSN does not work either like mentioned above for any type of domain when I last checked yesterday... bizarre.... hopefully it all gets fixed soon.
