How do you get your BETA rankings higher then? We're nowhere in MSN! i donlt really 'get' what beta is all about...

Thanks.

It's all about links. You'll need more links to your site to rank better. A good combination of on-page optimization and links helps a lot. But it's more about the number of links you've got.

The beta search also seems to like sites that have the keywords in the domain name.

Links mean little in MSN Beta compared to on page SEO

Agreed Jackson.

As always, links are part of it but the on-site components hold far more weight than on many other engines.

I do believe they are also taking into account the whole site. If your whole site is about one thing it looks to me as though you stand a higher chance of hitting the top of the SERPs than if you only have one well-optimized page on the subject.
