hey 928s4 whatever you find post it here please so I can see what you find out.

now dont you guys think im going mad or anything but I think its MSN.com and Hotbot.com pulling in a different INK feed.

Let me tell you why, I have just checked loads of ranks on MSN Denmark and India (we have a few clients out that way) and the results are the same as pure INK.

Do yourself a test, search for a few things and you will probably find your results are where they used to be on MSN.com....mmmmm.....and it gets weirder...About.com also pulls in the pure INK feed as well as many other INK fed engines.

The problem seems to be ONLY with MSN.com and Hotbot.com. Now my first thoughts were this; its an INK algo change (possibly Yahoo testing stuff with it) or MSN inserting some of their own stuff, but now I am thinking different and because with both MSN.com and Hotbot.com showing different results to MSN India etc. it might well be that they are either pulling in from a different INK database OR something is bust.

A site vanised from a number 3 listing in Hotbot.com in front of my eyes this morning when I refreshed the page! Weird stuff but one thing is for sure....I DONT LIKE IT ONE BIT!

Go knock yourself out, check your positions at:

[msn.co.in...] for pure INK!
