MSN results Q

Not in LS or Ink?

[johnser]

A Q for all you good people.

MSN.com - I do a search for some very competitive term.
In the first 15 results after the featured & spons listings, several websites appear that are NOT in the first 20 PAGES of LS.com or Ink

(Most of the listings on the MSN web directory & web pages sections can be seen on LS & Ink but several can't)

As I say, this is for very competitive terms.
Any clues as to how these sites are getting so high?
TIA

They use Overture as well, and also sell the top spots in house. So on some 'very competitive terms' they won't appear anywhere, other than MSN...
