Hi everyone,

I have just found that my website has dropped from page 1 for the keywords pet portraits to page 25. Sites that have far less reliant content are above mine using those search terms.

My site is probably one of the largest pet portrait site on the net and im on page 1 in google and yahoo.

I'm loathed to change anything as don't want to damage my ranking in the other search engines, however is there something im missing here? How can their search results show sites that have only one page of pet portrait content above a whole site that is devoted to the subject and even has its own forum about pet portraits!?

Is there anything I can do? I have been trying to find webmaster information on the msn site but as yet i haven't found any. Do they have a webmaster section like google?

I wouldn't change a thing for MSN just yet.
With the new algo in constant flux, it would be like shooting in the dark.
If you have good rankings with G & Y, be thankful.
Many here are suffering through this unstable MSN Algo update without G & Y rankings.

I'll bet it corrects itself in due time.
Good Luck
