There's an MSN update lately?

The results to all of my sites that were on the first page took a dive. Any info about it?

MSN is pretty volitile, and yes there were some really big changes after the search came back up (it was down for a day). Alot of it to me looks like old results in the few areas I watch MSN in.

Interesting. I wonder what they going to improve... if at all.
Hope it won't take too long. I had good traffic coming from there.

My oldest and hardest developed site gets insignifiant traffic from MSN, although it gets spidered hardly, thousands of visits daily, while new sites with very few links get way more. MSN looks like pretty naive IMHO.

Volatile MSN
MSN is pretty volatile to be honest so I would'nt get too concerned just yet. Anyway to be honest if you're like me I don't get any quality traffic from there anyway, despite a good ranking.

Hi,

MSN has said that it want to focus more on it search engine and how it indexes sites and ranks them in it search results.

MSN has woken up to the fact that it is losing out on the profitable search engine market so they are trying to work on it to make money.

Just a few weeks ago they said they will be ending a deal they had with Yahoo search.



But in the upcoming month a lot of changes will be happening so they can compete more in the Se market
