Ich weis nicht ob sich hier überhaupt noch jemand für MSN interessiert. Laut Webhits beträgt der Marktanteil nur noch 3,6 Prozent. Dort versucht man sich derzeit an einem Update. Dabei sind über 100 Millionen Seiten ungefiltert in die SERPs gelangt. Dementsprechend schlecht stellt sich derzeit die Qualität der SERPs dar. MSNdude dazu bei Webmasterworld:
I guess we’re overdue for a public comment
1) Live.com is supposed to be the same as search.msn.com, msn.com, or any other MSN Search URL. The differences are in the UI, not the AI.
![]()
2) We did indeed roll out a new Net this week. Unfortunately, an unrealted event earlier in the week allowed about 100M pages into the index without filtering. A great number of these pages were very poor.
3) These two events took effect at the same time, and event #2 was about 2x as large as event #1.
4) We did not fully unravel this ourselves until about two hours ago.
The system should finish purging and recrawling the 100M suspect pages by Sunday morning, PST. At that point it should be possible to see what the new net REALLY looks like.
We’d like to thank all the people who cared enough to tell us what they really thought — no matter how negative it was. We have thick skins here and we genuinely appreciate the feedback.
Many of the issues raised here are being addressed. Some of them turn out to be harder to do than they might seem to be, but even so, we’re optimistic that you’ll be able to see substantial progress across the summer. We don’t want to promise anything specific, but we’ll try to be better about commenting on things that you do discover as we roll them out.
Thanks again, and sorry about the spam blip.
