[illusionist]

My site which came back on december 26 update, seems to have disappeared again on this data center [216.239.53.99...] . Its notwhere to be found even in allinanchor, allintitle etc? I see majot change on that data center, is this a new update?

[plumsauce]

hmm, just searched for

pathetic results

on a whim.

only one result in page one mentions GOOGLE. must be a new algorithm in play here.

BeeDeeDubbleU lol for 544 :-)

1)
Following the tread there seems a pattern that domains matching a keyword seem have to be lost / cracked down.

2)
Also some middle old sites seem to have been penalized or sandboxed.
Maybe an Adwords extension program for older sites :-)

G$ seems to give the madman as usual.

i just had a call from my son ,he told me that in his college they have change the default search engine from google to MSN.co.uk.does that tell you something?

[cleanup]

Yes, it tells me that you son and his mates are now only seeing about 10% of the web (uk hosted sites only).

Bet their homework marks don't improve much!

Considering how unbelievably bad the results on msn.co.uk are, it tells me something about the person who is charge of IT at that college.

MSN.com I could understand, have you seen the results from .co.uk?

[RichTC]

The results from msn.co.uk are superb.

At least they are relevent to the search terms unlike Google which currently brings back a pile of directory sites and ZERO content sites full of links, Oh and a bias towards the sites they first started to spider.

You could say that the college Head knows exactly what hes doing!

Maybe after this current update google will improve, currently i see little sign of it!

I find the MSN results to be good on both .com and .co.uk. I cannot undestand where this condemnation is coming from. Perhaps those who's directories and scraper sites have been dropped? ;)

[glitterball]

The condemnation for MSN.co.uk is because only UK-hosted sites appear in the SERPS.

Simple as that!

"Yes, it tells me that you son and his mates are now only seeing about 10% of the web "
better 10% instead the cr----p google brings now and delayed. delayed) since 2 weeks now ,I don't know if that happens overseas ,but in the UK though broadband connection here ,it takes a life time to download Google search and if you want to go to the second page forget it, instead no problem download any other kind of page.....I bet's you they got problems with there capacity servers.

have you made any academic search on MSN.co.uk lately instead just search for your money keywords on Google?and see how your page ranks.
