I can't remember the last time I saw the Times in the SERPs. No big loss since most their content requires registration as well.

Nice move Microsoft. If you can't develop a worthwhile product, try to hurt your competitor by buying away their publishers.

Might work for a year or two, until the publishers start to hold Microsoft accountable for all the promises of increased revenues and advertisers... and when it doesn't come... they will all go lurking back to Google... which will at that time now hold a 80% share of the market...

And since their sites will be newly re-listed, it will take years for them to recover their rankings...
