MSN Page Rank?

Has anyone else heard that MSN is coming out with there own Page Rank?

 

what is your sources to make that assumption?

 

I've not heard that. But if they do, they will not be able to use the term PageRank, which Google has legally got locked up.

 

They might come up with some new terminology instead of the word PageRank.

 

MSR might be it

 

I've never heard anything like that, although I hope they do because it will make them enunciate more clearly what factors go into the ranking scale. I'm having a terrible time ranking my site well in MSN search results.

 

Who cares? Frankly, they already have a "ranking" algorithem; it's just not publically exposed. The only people who care about PR are sleazy SEO consultants and uninformed website owners.

PR doesn't matter. Where your site shows up in the search results for relevant keywords does.

 

Please explain why something to which Google allocates people, time, and money "doesn't matter". It seems like it matters to Google. I would be interested in hearing actual facts why "PR doesn't matter", not just repeating the conventional wisdom.

 

Jim is right, I believe people to be incorrect when they say that pr doesn't matter. Google is the leader of internet searching as well as many other things, and to say that what they consider to be important is [word goes here].

 

They already did this several months ago.

Here is a thread i started awhile back http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=557780 when they 1st came out with their own webmaster tools and the page rank is avaliable through the tools .

 

would love to see that.

 

Haven't heard about the msn pagerank

 

Didnt think mocosoft will dwell into this area. any source for your news bud?

 

Never heard this one before. Where you got the whiff of it, mate?

 

They can use 'LiveRank' instead of PageRank.

 

Never heard anything about MSN pagerank.

 

Why is msn doing this thought, are they trying to be more competitive with google?

 

Live.com webmaster tools allow you to add site map, monitor your website "pagerank" and links to you.
I dont see any use of rank values there, I have few domains with rank 5 of 5 on most pages but nothing impressive in term of search positions.

Will wait and see how they are going to develop this.

 

Can you give a link.
