MSN Search Summary

Titan · 02-13-2005

What have I learnt about the new MSN web search? Search Engine Optimisers and webmasters have been praising the search results because for them MSN ranks their web site well. These people are using SEO techniques such as “link text” from many pages where Google have started filtering them out.

Pros:
1. Compared to the old MSN search many random doorway pages are filtered
2. The number one spot for many keywords are often better than Google!

Cons:
1. Its too easy to spam using repetitive keywords on page.
2. Inbound links from mass pages all on a non unique Class C IP address have too much power.
3. MSN Search seems to index less pages from some sites.
4. Pages linking from a Query String page only are not indexed.
5. DHTML menus not indexed
6. (Opinionated) Blogs and forums are ranked above authority sites.
