Hi does anybody know if msn.co.uk gives very poor ranking to english sites hosted in U.S.A?

Its strange, my site just got into msn.com, is ranking first for some keywords,
thought I wasnīt in msn.co.uk, but find I am but canīt be found by keywords....checked until 200,
if search for my companyname same as in url, my site comes up fourth...

Strange so big difference in ranking, or maybe msn.co.uk let knew sites without ranking for a while?

MSN UK used to be very bad at seeing any .com sites at all in its index. However it now makes a better attempt. But if you have a UK site with a .com domain name then (in my humble opinion) it will never recognize it as British if it is hosted in the states.

Thanks receptional.

If so, hopefully they will improve that in their new searchenginge.
Hopefully theyīll have the option for users to search all the web and search only british sites.

Canīt believe being first on msn.com and not in first 200 in co.uk, relevancy of site in my case is relevant same for an amercian, british or any other national.

Ever thought of it, do you think .com sites hosted in U.S.A is favoured in msn.com?
