MSN referers

why is it so difficult to stabilize?

Well guys and gals, don't get your hopes up on this sucker just yet. It looks like this is no different then fighting Google SERPs war.

On May 21st our site lost 15% of SE referrers, all coming from MSN. Before that date, we dominated MSN SERPs for relevant terms, and after it we are lucky to get 30 clicks a day from MSN.

Anybody aware of MSN updates, redesigns, any specifics at all?

Knock-knock?

Anyone at all knows any info on this new MSN beast?
I can confirm, that aproximately at the same time my site dropped in Yahoo! SERPs also (non-commersial content site, no penalties or "bad links", still has about 100 backlins on Google). Is it possible that Y! and MSN use the same third-party engine or database?

Aha! That makes sence. Now, knowing that someone torpedoed our site in Yahoo!, it all falls into place
