Hi,

I was number one on MSN for a UK term for a good two years right up until Oct 1st last year on MSN co.uk or live.

I, like many others lost a lot of rankings, down to about 32 or so.

I decided to give up on MSN (even though it brought me a good return) and focus on Google.

However last week I was in spain and did a search and discovered I was number 1 for my search term. So i went through all of Europe and find out that in most countries I was number one.

It now looks like I am number one in most countries except USA, UK and Germany and the OCT 1st change only applied to these 3 countries.

As this is a UK search term and only searched for in the UK and related companies only hosted in the UK, I am trying to distuguish, why the OCT 1st change only affected me for certain countries.

It would have been helpful if I could have done a link command on each countrie with MSN.

So an MSN expert please.
I have more links
I have more pages.

It is a UK term only, no one in other countries use that term. (when i say UK term i dont mean it has the word UK in it. I mean it is a description of a service, that dscription is only used in the UK, other countries use a different term.)
This service in another country would be known by another name.
It only reflects UK sites and companies
My site is hosted in the UK
Other worldwide msn sites, love the site
It is on the first page of google uk also

So why does the UK show different results to other countries on a specific UK term for UK businesses?
What was the algorythmic change?

thanks

Mark
