MSN Preview

[mobilebadboy]

Well, it still seems like it needs work, but overall I was happy when I searched for flash tutorials and came up 8th while Google barely has me in the top 300 and keeps moving dead sites higher and higher in the SERPS (one in the top 10 that's been dead for months!).

It certainly needs work -> http://techpreview.search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=nigritude+ultramarine&FORM=SMCRT see all the spammers.

[Jaffro]

yea i'd say it needs a lot of work! about 5 of my subpages come up in a row and the bottom of the first page of msn emotions, but my index is nowhere to be seen! haha, now only if i could move those subpages into the top 5 i'd have the market in my hands! :D

[Chris]

Well, my coupon listings aren't good, but I dominate here:

Obviously MSN still has some bugs.

This search:

http://techpreview.search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=1984&FORM=SMCRT

Is messed up too.

[Chris]

holy crap...

#1, now that can't be right. I'm good, but I'm not that good.

Now I am #2 for carb counter (I was #1 this morning). So MSN is updating.
I have practically no incoming links for carb counter (I have a lot for other keywords). And I am still #2. I think that means:
1) too much weight on anchor text (I have many internal links for carb counter). here text navigation + lots of pages kills
2) MSN has something like PageRank but for the whole site. So my domain is probably getting a good amount of MSN link pop score that transfers to all internal pages (and the carb counter page)

Some results for me are better than google. I just hope they promote it well so it gets as many searches as google.

I'm on top page for Free Online Games - WTF!

[snoopers]

I got some very high rankings myself!

I'm sure they'll disappear though as MSN improves...

Does anyone know when these results will be put into effect?

[mobilebadboy]

holy crap...

http://techpreview.search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=web+templates&FORM=SMCRT

#1, now that can't be right. I'm good, but I'm not that good.

You're 15th for templates. :)

[Mike]

He's 1st for me :S

[incka]

15 for me. Mike are you looking at templates like us or web templates?

[mobilebadboy]

Yeah he's #1 for web templates, 15th for templates.

#1 for "free online game" I guess I can hope people don't pluralize it...:|

Edit:

#6
Nintendo 64 Cheats
#4
PlayStation2 Cheats
#5
Dreamcast Cheats
#10
Halo Cheats

I wouldn't do to bad if it stayed in its very beta form :p

[mobilebadboy]

I'm fluctuating for flash tutorials. Sometimes 8th sometimes 5th. When I'm 5th I'm in between FlashKit's main page and their main tutorials page. Flashkit is (and has been) #1 on Google, while I as I said, am like 260 something.

And Google, keeping in form, has now moved virtual-fx.net up once again INTO THE TOP 5! The site has been dead for months! Man that is so aggravating.

[Dan Morgan]

Wow - http://techpreview.search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=ski+review&FORM=SMCRT

I appear to have postions 1 through 30 exclusively to myself...

I don't have #19... that is taken by a site which is quite, quite bizarre....

[ozgression]

Good to have another competitor in the market.

[MarkB]

I'm no 1 for 'metal cds'! :)

http://techpreview.search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=metal+cds&FORM=SMCRT

[mobilebadboy]

Well, I've dropped to the middle of the 2nd page now for flash tutorials. :(

Chris dropped to 3 for 'web templates' and 1 spot to 16 for 'templates'.

buymetal.net is still #1 for metal cds. :p

[Mike]

A few positions have moved up for me now, looking better...

[MarkB]

ROCK! :D Now if only I could get to #1 with 'credit cards' ;)

edit: mind you, I have multiple first-page spots for 'low interest credit cards uk'! :eek: And multiple second-page places for just 'low interest credit cards'. VERY encouraging! :)

Ok, everyone stop using google and use MSN now please :p

[chromate]

Oh man. For carb / carbohydrate counter my sites seem to dominate pages and pages.

[MarkB]

Almost too good to be true, eh?;)

[Chris]

For dell coupons now Jalic.com is ranked higher than my Dell coupons page.

[chromate]

It seems very much still in development. Big changes will have to be made as there's no way they'll get away with the SERPs as they are now.

[Mike]

There seems to be loads of subpages bundled together for a lot of searches.

[MarkB]

I'm #5 now for 'low interest credit cards' \m/ and #2 for 'low interest credit cards uk' \m/

[Blue Cat Buxton]

I dont like MSN
(or rather MSN doesnt seem to like me :( )
