    I'm confused

    I'm all over the #1 ranking for my main targeted keyword "sportsbook review" on the new msn. However in last week I"ve got to page 8 for same keyword on google, ( I was top 2 pages for 5 months), and I can't even get a sniff of the top 100 on yahoo for this keyword. What gives? Why is MsN showing me so much love?

    MSN has been especially kind to my version of, uh, white hat (mostly) SEO as well. Yahoo second, and Google now third (formerly first). This being in relation to "this week" though it has been coming for a few months now.

    My personal opinion is that the MSN index is a wee bit innocent yet (though as a consumer, I have found their SERP relevance actually better than Google's). Yahoo still does things like *gasp* look at some META data. Google is, IMHO, out to lunch as a search engine because they are too focused on being a recent IPO and media darling, desktop search, Girefox hunting, Adwords, Adsense, Froogle, etc.

    Which is fine, all companies grow - but the past few months on Google have seen me turn from them and focus on Yahoo and MSN whereas a year ago I never even checked to see how I was doing in the latter two, since 90% of my hits came from Google - not so any longer. And yay for that - I hate monopolies, and Google had become one, what with Yahoo using Google and MSN using Yahoo... time for some fresh code and blood, I'm scampering to deal with the algorithm changes, but for the most part it's all been good news from my perspective.
