MSN have found my pages :-) But if I search for "Torben Rick" (that is in the titel of both) than MSN dont show any result.

Please HELP - Thanks

Hi,

The position of a page in the SERP's cannot be explained in a few words. There are numerous informations on the subject in this forum and elsewhere. Key factors are the contents of the page and the number and quality of the links pointing to the page.

Quality links pointing to your home page would definitely help.

To use two different addresses for the same content is not a good idea. In the worst case, search engines could penalize one of your sites for that (or both). What will happen anyway is that the external links will be spread among the two sites; the goal is to get as many quality links as possible to one address and you will only get +/- half. If it is important that your visitors can use both addresses, make a 301 redirect from the "secondary" address to the "important" address (the one that you want to see in the SERP's).

To add some more:

You have an insane amount of META data that is completely irrelevant that says "torben rick", but you are missing the important stuff. MSN is probably penalizing you for spamming your META and while you have it in title you don't use any other important tags (<h1> ,<strong>, <alt>, etc. Not a lot of content either. ALso your tables <tr>, <td> would be much better defined in an external style sheet ans well as all your other styles. CSS will remove hundreds of lines of code from your pages and allow for your content to be given weight by the search engines. Also you are using image navigation which cannot be read by search engines. If you are going to use those vertical tabs for nav you should include text links in the footer.

It just funny that:

Altavista .. Number 1
Yahoo ..... Number 2
Netscape . Number 12
AOL ........ Number 13
Google..... Number 27

MSN a big "0" if a searche for "Torben Rick"

- Should I remove that so that "Torben Rick" ist just in the titel?

1) Remove all the spam (where you're stuffing your keyword).
2) Add more content related with your keyword.
3) Build some more backlinks with your keyword included in the anchor text (quality of the links doesn't count too much when we talk about MSN)

Do all these and you'll find yourself ranking way better in MSN. ;)

Anchor text links are not as important with MSN. Any link seems to have quite a bit of value,so there is a little more flexiblity if that is the SE that you are chasing. A lot of wisdom on the thread :-)

While any link DOES appear to be benefitical in MSN - any link with the exact phrase being targeted will almost certainly be more beneficial than without... therefore the importance of anchor text is still high.
