If You Are Serious About Search Engine Rankings Don't Ignore MSN Search!

 
 

MSN is currently third in terms of number of Search requests processed. Microsoft is never happy being just third. Look back at the history of Microsoft, Can you still remember when Netscape was the #1 Browser and Internet Explorer was a young upstart? Can you remember when Word Perfect was the #1 Word Processor and Office Just a Dream?

When Microsoft gets involved in a market it's goal is nothing short of total domination. Yahoo and Google look out because Microsoft will be a huge force in the Internet Search Arena. Microsoft has published guidelines to help You achieve higher rankings.
