MSN equivalent of PageRank?

Just wondered, with all the emphasis on Google's Page Rank it occurs to me that I know nothing of the other search facilities scoring system, in particular if thay have something that equates to Page Rank. Is there such a thing? Or are we comparing apples and pears?

 

Dont really know too much about this subject but I have a 7 times higher amount of backlinks on google than MSN. Not really sure why??

 

That may be a good thing. I think it is harder to get backlinks on google than msn

 

this is a good resource link for this discussion:

i dont think msn ever had an equivalent, but yahoo did,, but scrapped it after a short while

 

Yahoo had the dreaded WebRank.....that was quickly scrapped..

 

i think msn has not criteria like google page rank . it has different criteria

 

Thats a great article you refer to molluzzo.

Its a good read (takes quite a while to read). For those who can't be bothered to read it the final line is:

"Here comes Microsoft, and it's coming up fast!"
