MSN search mini update

[zeus]

I have seen over this month that the had been some changes again, it looks like we are back to the search results we had 1-2 month ago wich I btw like much better compared what we have seen the last 1-2 month.

Im not sure if they have gone back to the good old results or if they have made a few changes.

Total joke results here. Pathetic.

Most of the our sites are ranking well this week, but I have being noticing from a long time that MSN SERPs keeps on fluctuating. Page ranking will not stick on one position for a longer time.

I think MSN will do mini update every month or so.

[tigger]

have to say 100% impressed with the results - maybe MSN should tell G how to run a SE

Msn Search is predominantly a tld local search engine.

Nothing wrong with force feeding results from the search.msn.tld country, but they should say so

and

they should offer the option of showing "World Wide Web" results.
(I could not find it on search.msn.nl or search.msn.co.uk)
The "Only from United Kingdom" option gives me the wrong idea that the normal results are www results.

Does it seem like the keyword phrase in the domain plus lot's of instances of the keyord phrase on the page, plus the keyword phrase in sitewide links within the site are kind of important, if not more emphasized?

yes the serps does change a little every month, as if they have 3 otions of results ready, but I would also like when one make a search they get the world wide results like on msn.com and if they want a special country they can click/mark a link like on google.

Also why do we max. see 25 pages of one site.

To me, yes, and also the keyword phrase in the page URL, page title, and the page h1, h2, etc.

[zeus]

h1 and h2 I dont see that big a impact there

[steveb]

Make a keyword subdomain, spam blogs, that's it. Just a disgrace.

MSN is no closer to an adequate search engine than they were their second alpha release (after the first one where thousands of pages from the same domain showed).

I like that not ONLY links back to a site gives you a good ranking like on google and you see newer sites, be cause of no sandbox
