What are MSN Search most important algorithms at the moment?

[Michel Z.]

I noticed that my 'smiley' sites dropped rankings last few months within MSN Search. Many of them even totally vanished which had very dominating rankings in the past. Most of my sites were ranked top-5 or 1st page! At the moment I have only few sites ranked well. All of my sites have basicly same content, layout, etc. but each one targeting specific keyword. Each site was therefore also ranked high for that particular keyword!

Regarding my knowledge the following algorithms were always important for MSN:

- MSN likes keywords in domain;
- Number of backlinks plays a role for a certain amount;
- MSN is grazy about keywords in 'title' of site, but also likes keywords in 'headers'!
- Also number of times same keyword has been used within content plays a role.

At the moment I am working on all my sites again in order to get my high rankings back, therefore wondering what regarding you opinion MSN Search most important algorithms are at this time!!

Preferrable, ONLY reply to my thread when you are more or the less an expert on MSN Search SEO. Your experience with Google and/or Yahoo SEO will not help me directly (although MSN copies concepts of Google/Yahoo).

I need to figure out how MSN Search ranks sites right now & where MSN crawlers look at in particular!

Many thanks in advance!

lol no offence but creating a ton of identical site wasnt the smartest move in the book, looks like MSN detected your dupiclate content and binned it.

First of all, you judging very fast without knowing how my sites look like & secondly this is NOT the reason why my sites dropped in rankings! If this was the case, then all my sites should be banned. Several of my sites still are ranked very high!

i think they're cleaning houses and most of my domains dropped as well from the ranks but they have increased backlinks

I would like to add a question to my thread:

Besides working on my content as 'affordable seo' mentioned! What other suggestions do you have to get my sites back to 1st page? What changes should I make? What should I add? Etc.

Also wondering what exactly happend to my sites, why they dropped? What was the change?

Thanks a lot!

Well personally I think it is easier to rank well in MSN as compared to Google and Yahoo. So I think concentrating more on Google and Yahoo rankings may get you a good rank in MSN.

Examples:

http://www.free-emoticons.name/ >> nr. 1 MSN in the past for several months, keywords: 'free emoticons'.

http://www.smilies.name >> nr. 5 MSN in the past for several months, keyword: 'smilies'.


Thanks a lot!
