In the past few weeks, MSN has been doing a lot of changes to its search algorithm and adding features to its SERP (Search Engine Result Page).

For one, MSN Live Search is now a bit more interactive to a user’s search giving more options like adding a news link and asking if it was useful.

These little extra features are a nice little addition to their search engine;however, its the other addition to ther search engine results that are a bit disturbing.

MSN Live search has now decided to that they will decide what its users can search for and even change the original keyword used in a search by a user.

For example, if you do a search for “online marketing services” you will get this message:

Obviously, MSN Live Search has decided that this keyword is not i...

Looks like Google just did a page rank update last night. Nice to know that all of our hard work paid off and after 3 months of work we now have a google page rank of 3!

Next update should be in about 4 months and our goal is to get a pange ranking of 5!!!

Wish us luck

Today I was making the BlindMonkeyMedia SEO report when I noticed a trend. We pretty much increased in ranking for all of our target keyword On Google.com, Google.co.cr and Yahoo.

Actually, we own the 95% of all of our keywords for the Costa Rica Market where we rank in the top 5 for all of our keywords except for 3 keywords and out of those 3 keywords we rank in the top 2.

On the MSN side however, we have lost our ranking big time. Meaning going from the first SERP to not ranking at all. I am assuming MSN Live Search saw this post, http://blog.blindmonkeymedia.com/?p=112 and got pissed at us.

So I just want to say, Sorry MSN Live Search. We didn’t mean to insult you. We were just stating historical facts...

It looks live Live.com, which is the MSN Search Engine, finally decided to get their head out of their ass and include our website www.blindmonkeymedia.com in its search inclusion.

That is one thing about the MSN Search Engine that is very unusual, especially considering who owns it. Why is that search engine so slow at picking up new websites and page upgrades or additions? You would think that having the mighty Microsoft power and resources behind it that it could at least own 40% or more of all internet searches instead of just a bit over 17%.

I am currently writing a nifty little article about it so make sure to come and check out our marketing articles pages after March 15th at: http://www.blindmonkeymedia.com/marketing-articles

In the meanwhile, here is what MSN Live Search had to sa...

These past few weeks have been horrendous at work due to the large volume of request from new customers. It has gotten to the point where we are no longer accepting new work requests for programming and SEO services and are actually hiring for programmers and SEO experts.

As I was turning and tossing last night over meeting deadlines, finding help and going over applications, I thought to myself, why not make a contest to weed out all of the SEO experts applications. So here is the deal; below are some popular movie quotes that have been changed a bit to become famous SEO quotes.

If you can name the movie each quote came from and explain what they are about you got yourself a job interview and it will give you a extra 10 points in our interview rating scale.
