I was number 1 in MSN for my main site main search term when they were using looksmart. Then I got relegated to the second page when they seemed to dump my section of the directory but kept some others.
Now it seems they have cleared out the directory listings in my area. There was a bit of a bounce a few days ago when they again produced directory listings (and pretty poor quality ones) but now they are back with just straight listings.
I am number 7 but there are 2 above me that are useless so I should at least be 5.
I am numer 5 on Inktomi but still have one of the useless sites above me.
MSN results actually look like a rearrangement of Inktomi results.
It is funny in some other forums people repeating Gate's spin about what MSN are doing with their search engine as though they have been beaten by google and it is going to take a long time to catch up and so on. MSN will be spending billions trying to capture google's market as soon as possible, so it is worth watching it.
