Exclamation Msn vs Google

We have 4 of our top search terms in the top 3 of google 3 of which are in the 2nd spot but, MSN we are in the top 12 but not nothing like our great ranking with Google. What to do, I don't want to mess with my standing in Google is there something I can add that MSN likes and Google dosen't care about when crawling?

Personally i'd recommend you hold off making any radical changes to accomidate MSN until MSN launches there new search engine in June or July.

You might also want to look at some of the numbers that say MSN only makes up between 5 - 10% of all web searches --> therefor it would be better to optimize more for google.

Id stick with your google position, msn seems to be more meta based as my site seems to come up very high in msn/yahoo where as it comes nowhere in google. Google cranks in so many searches that if it likes your page id leave it.

Does anybody know what type of search engine MSN are launching i.e. content and links and nothing else like google or are they going to go for somthing more radical.

msn search engine is expected to be based on natural language processing and understanding, nothing like any search engines out there.

How are you doing in Yahoo? I am finding that a good rank in Yahoo is showing as a slightly lower rank in MSN.

On yahoo i seem to be doing ok, generally position 3-10 for all of the keywords. On MSN it seems to be more strict and i seem to be top 4 positions for 70% of keywords (im not sure which is better?)

Also i have noticed that yahoo will not include mulitple "similar domains" e.g.

i have 2 domains, one that re-directs to the primary one

if i type a bunch of my keywords in and it finds the pri domain that comes top

i then add one more keyword and the primary domain does not even come in the top 10 pages but the secondry comes top.

i cant understand this at all, if anything i would have thought that both domaind would be behind one antother.

any ideas guys?
