MSN New site fluctuation

[mr_tim]

I was recently included in msn. in the 3 days since inclusion the site has dropped 3 places or so.

i thought msn was quite stable? will it climb again or has it dropped to a relatively steady position?

thanks

hi mr_tim, Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

MSN is a bit 'unstable' as far as I know, considering that they use House listings, Overture, Zeal / LookSmart, and Inktomi ( in that order...)

So, the best way to stay 'stable' in their db, imho, as far as search engine optimization goes, is to list your commercial site with Inktomi - is that what where your site was included? Or was it in MSN from Zeal, or Overture...?
