MSN has been pretty irrelevant to me. Even with most of my sites being in spots #1-#3 in many Page 1 SERPs I get very little traffic as a result. Hopefully MSN will become a stronger engine and send me more traffic.
they dont need to change the design they need to update there servers they are very slow when i seach any thing on live search it take much time while google diplays it instantly ....
It is a very good update for me. My website - www.arcadehouse.org , is now up at #30 for the very competitive keyword - free online games
Interesting update, one of my sites was ranking #1 for a few keywords I wanted and now I can't even find it anywhere in the index. ooops
One of my sites in my sig. dropped from #1 to #19 for my keywords, and the other must be above #100 when it used to be #2 or #3. Not sure what's happening. They are content rich and have some nice backlinks. The opposite is happening in Google, the one site has gone from about #500 to #41 and the other from #300 to #27. Does anyone know why the big drop in MSN SERP's? My sites are about 4 months old. Does MSN have an opposite effect as compared to Google on new sites i.e. Google sanboxes them and MSN ranks them high at 1st? All comments appreciated.
Opps ! sorry i have checked the search from msn it looks very fast much faster than google i think i will now stuck up with msn live search ...
Yep, all my top rankings in MSN have been crushed.. Went from #4 to #478 for one of my major terms, and I thought it was something that I had done.. Glad to see this thread, at least I know I'm not alone.
I too am a victim! I had first page results on a highly searched keyword phrase . . . now I am gone :-(
some of my personal sites are also affected. There were a few that were top 5 on MSN but they've lost all that in the last few days. They must have changed the algorithm or are flushing things out and rebuilding their index.
