Looksmart Small Business Listings

Have they changed the quality of results for Europe

[Shakil]

Last week I spent a whole morning researching Looksmart listings from Looksmart.com (NOT .co.uk) and their presence across Europe (actually places such as MSN.de and MSN.SE etc etc etc)

anyway for the industry we are in lots of good results were showing, especially as product names tend to be different in Europe than our competitors in the USA, so as I said it looked like a good route to market.

Today I have checked all the Europe MSN portals and discovered that only 1 result seems to be showing, and THAT is the 1 with "keyword" in the domain, so unlike before they are not giving benefit for the content but instead just showing 1 result for the keywords I searched on, and to top it off the URL is "similar" to keyword-buy-usa.com

anyone care to shed some light on this?

Hmm, sounds strange Shak and I don't think I quite get you here.

Are you saying that searching on a product name brings up only 1 domain. The same domain on all Euro MSN's?

Or are you seeing the similar results on all the MSN's, where the same domain seems to rank out all the others?

I'm clueless, help us out here ;)

we discussed this in great detail in the European Forum.
