MSNdude, thanks for the chance to speak out.

I'd like to echo a comment by Uber_SEO about results turning up the home page rather than a deeper page that is more relevant.

With my site, you often send visitors looking for "small red widgets" to my "red widgets" entry page, rather than my "small red widgets" page. Often, visitors opt out right then, so I consider that a real problem.

Also, there sometimes seems to be more emphasis on internal link anchor text than on page content. For example, if someone were looking for a movie soundtrack and one of the songs on that soundtrack was by a particular artist - MSN might refer to the artist's page rather than the soundtrack page, though the site has both, based on an internal link on the artist's page. I hope that makes sense.

In any case, the problem overall is visitors don't get to the page they need and, therefore, their experience is not as good as it could be.
