Default Drops in MSN ranking

Anyone else losing placement on MSN? I've dropped off the map.

Yep, not in the top 5 pages and was #1 and 2. Haven't looked at other terms as I really don't care about MSN. They only account for 2-4% of my traffic. The new top 5 are all garbage including a site that is a canned AA site with lots of duplicate content. Stop looking at them at this point, BTW none of the top ten are close to what they had been.

Wow, you scared me. Unlike Ken, I get most of my traffic from MSN followed by Google (by less than 1/3). I'm still holding many #1 positions with my sites in MSN. Currently I only have my oldest site with a top position in Google & it's a small niche area.

I heard of another site that dropped out of MSN and was surprised. I like the results since I'm at the top of so many terms in my area.

Yeah, MSN doesn't give me hardly any traffic but it's a little scary seeing my main site dropped totally off for my targeted keywords (about 74 different phrases). I mean I can't even find them anywhere. Most all of my pages are still indexed but no ranking. I was just wondering if anyone else noticed some changes this week?

Hey Morgan:
Thanks. I was talking about the past. MSN is the only search engine I haven't had a problem with and hopefully that will continue.

Back into the top 5 for my main keywords, #1 and 2 for the main keyword. Whatever the change was that had me gone from the top 100 has been switched.

I dropped from 2 to 7 in MSN for Boulder Colorado Real Estate - I haven't made too many updates over the Holiday season, so I'm wondering if that has hurt me?
