Google PR and MSN

[WebMr]

Does a high Google PR influences your MSN search results?

Please don't ask this in every forum. Google's PR is their own calculation; a high Google PR therefore may or may not mean a site will do well in Yahoo, MSN, or any other engine.

Read through some more of the posts on the forums and you'll get a better idea of what each of the spiders look for.

Hi MrWeb,


No the PR is a internal Google thing. MSN is using different ranking criterias, but if yu are doing well in Google you could be doing well in the other search engines too.

not directly, but inbound links probably count to some extent

I personally believe that everything influences everything, but that's just me.
Figgure out how ;)

What do you think of the new msn results. They seem to be more relevant than Yahoo's.

I think if you do ok in Yahoo! / MSN /Altavista ... just add more backlinks and will do ok in Google as well.

I think MSN and Yahoo are having more similarities than with Google.

One of my sites is listed well with Yahoo, and it is also working well with MSN. But another site is not in Yahoo, so it is not in MSN, too.

So, it is not a coincidence, but I think there is something to do with the similarity in alg., if I am correct. ;-)

PR will not effect per say. However, having a high PR is a sign you have a lot of good links to you. All Search engines put emphasis on incoming links. Typically sites with high PR are on top of MSN. However, I've noticed that MSN seems less thrilled with incoming links and more with on-site stuff.

Results are not same in Yahoo and MSN but they are very close to each other i think yahoo and MSN Together Launch Some Policies to face competation with Google. Coz google alone covers more then 60% of the search Market, (My Views Only)

yeah, they use the same engine with a slight different algo.

Cant wait for the new search its alot better! I thought Google was fast at spidering sites, but the MSNBot had indexed my new site several times now and Google not once and I submitted to Google not MSN.

Yahoo and MSN have always had similar result simply because of the way they were built.
Similar tech and algo.
Altavista uses a stricter dup content filter and google uses page rank.
many of the technologies that were being used when these engines got developed got passed from program to program.
They are all trying to end up at the same result which is more relavant results. which is why you get similar results from a lot of them.
Page rank makes google different.
The rest run on the same technology with a few cosmetic differences.
