    Hi All,

    I'm new to this forum and found a post on Digg and Sphinn in regards to MSN and a potential paid #1 organic listing. If this is the case, then something really needs to be done about this.

    Does anyone know if there is any truth to this?

    Here's the article link http://1affiliatemarketer.wordpress.com/

    The example in the article is indeed valid but who would pay for the top spot in organic search results and have a maintenance page served to visitors? I think it is just one of those annoying MSN/Live bugs.

    I read the article. I didn't see the result it claimed on MSN. Perhaps it was correct at the time of writing the article.

    I imagine it was just an error.

    It's probably buggy, as it's msn.
