In days gone by getting top placement on MSN was straight forward. Lately we have had less consistent results. Funny thing is that several of our sites have continued to place at the top with little to no additional effort and others have not placed well with the techniques that in the past would move a site back up quickly.

My test will be in two parts. First experiment is with two Point2 sites that I created in the past for testing purposes. www.JunoBeachFloridaUSA.com and www.Juno-Beach-Real-Estate.com They were created when I was testing domain name results vs domains w/o keywords. These two sites both enjoyed top placement in MSN and still have top positions in Yahoo with little customization.

The first test will be with these existing sites and compare some onsite efforts vs external efforts from linking with blogs, directories, other sites that we control...

The second test will be similiar, but will be with two new domains.

I will try and remember to post here as the test progresses... Assuming I get some results with MSN again.

Hi David,

Any news on your MSN test? I was looking at MSN again today and I am more confused than ever. At least with Yahoo and Google you have an idea why a site ranks well.

Thanks
