I have a site www.directholidaylets.com that has been doing well for lots of keywords across the top 3 search engines.

It was also doing well on msn until they did their update. Now, i dont rank anywhere for any of them anymore, not even for the domain name.

There is also just the homepage that has been indexed.

Very strange and bloody annoying.

I disagree that just a few hits from MSN is not very important. When you have a business EVERY hit is important.

Still doing well in the top 2 thank god.

For the term ‘bloghash’ I still rank#1, but wait! When I search using ‘bloghash.com, I see that there are over 1,700 results but Live displays only 2 per page. Kinda strange to me! Patrick, any insight into this?

I have taken a hit in the MSN Live SERPs, not really fussed though the traffic was negligible.

I’m right on top for “joe tech”, but if I search for “joetech”, I’m behind joetech.cn for some reason.

My sites 'name' (Simplehelp) shows up as #1. Using that same MSN search for my name, my Mashable profile shows up first. Which is a bit odd. At least most of the first few results (for my name) are relevant to me, not the guy in the UK that shares my name.

Searching for the phrase that Google ranks my site as having the #1 result for, "flac to mp3", brings my site up as the 8th result. In the "related searches" box, if you select "convert flac to mp3" (the first suggestion for related searches) it brings up my post as #1.

At the end of the day, I don't suspect this will bring me any more than the minimal visits I already get from MSN.
