---- Ranking high in MSN via L$

I have been analyzing the results on MSN for some competitive phrases. I can tell you that pagerank has 0 to do with the results, so I suspect that neither does link popularity because they are basically the same thing.

I also have discounted:

Text on the page, believe it or not.

Title, believe it or not

alt tags...

I am out of ideas on this one, unless they use a different algo for the results they have in there that have L$ tracking codes on them, and the ones that do not (I assume they come from looksmart also, but are not pay per click, ie, grandfathered in, or L$ editor added so as not to have a completely garbage search result.

Anyone have any ideas here?
