Hi all,

if anyone can answer me three questions I would be very pleased.

1>Are the msn.ca and msn.com engines used much
2>do the msn.ca and msn.com engines use the same search technology b/c i am currently listed at the top of the msn.ca se for my keywords, but not so for msn.com
3>I am betting they don't, and they feed off of other se's>but what se, perchance?

P.S It's funny b/c I optimized the google SE (I know nothing about how other ses work) and I am at the top of altavista and the top of msn.ca. However, no one uses altavista and, I am somewhere around 300th rank for my keywords on google.

>>However, no one uses altavista ...<<

Not true I had 0.00335% hits from them just this month so far alone ;-))

(servers them right. I was one that was banned from them back in the mid 90's for reporting SPAM to um)
