MSN RESULTS - Different?
From what I am seeing MSN results are now just featured sites (which are there advertising) then looksmart..no more overture or google adwords?

Anyone else seeing the same?

MSN has never showed Google Adwords.

MSN has been showing pure Overture (at the top) and pure Inktomi listings off and on today. It looks like they are getting ready to drop Looksmart.

Overture is still sponsored listings. Featured listings are set up with MSN directly (to the best of my knowledge).

I just took a look and I am seeing sponsored listings show as the top 3 listings and on the right side.

You may be seeing something different. People seem to think that this may be some kind of regional testing by MSN. Some people are still seeing Looksmart listings while others are not.

Other people are saying Opera shows the listings while IE 6.0 does not. I've also heard people say that 3 out of 4 computers in their office are not showing Looksmart while one still is.

I'm just sitting back and watching the show :-). I'm sure we'll see more of this throughout the week until MSN permanently drops Looksmart.
