I am seeing some major shuffles in my MSN rankings over the past few days. These changes are across many domains and hundreds of keywords. Seems that about 80% of my words are up or down in the past week. Luckily, mostly for the better. Unfortunately the referal traffic from them still remains a small % of the overall, but every click counts.

Anyone else seeing the same?

I'm only seeing single position shifts on some I just checked... real minor for the items I'm tracking.

Most of mine are minor as well. up two or down one, just the sheer volume of changes makes me wonder. I do have a few keywords/domains that have come out of nowhere to high rankings as well.

Traffic went up 4x starting June 1st on one of my sites.
Something obviously changed, considering the site has not been updated in months.
The pages bringing in the traffic have been indexed for nearly a year, so it is not like they brought more of the site into their index.
I thought that something on the site became newsworthy, but no.

One of my sites dropped about 30 places a couple of weeks ago. I got 1 or 2 related links to it on the 1st of June, MSN picked those links up and boosted the site to 14th on the 2nd of June ...

I'm not really seeing anything major in the sectors I'm involved in but there has been a minor shuffle recently.
