Search Engine Test

OK, we’ve squared this away with Matt, notice that my link is to a .co.uk, not his .com.

davidnaylor.co.uk was knocked out of MSN Live Search using a similar technique, we want to test our theory.

mattcutts.co.uk was registered by me in Matt’s name (we also got Tim Mayer) to stop people doing what we’re about to do. But that’s okay. Because we’re us. Or something. But we know that davidnaylor.co.uk is screwed in MSN Live Search. If your site is not screwed is MSN Live, we could appreciate a few links at mattcutts.co.uk - any anchortext you want, and it would be great if you could use paths that exist on Matt’s blog, such as a link to his sports post (but remember - use the .co.uk!)

And no-one tell MSN - that means you Pickles ;-)

    What’s the issue you are having in MSN Live Search? From a cursory glance, it looks like you are doing okay at MSN live. …at least on “long tail” terms. ;)

    OK, I’m in too. I think I’m fine on MSN. Haven’t checked referrals on the sucky business site in a while…
    You’re going to let us know the results, right?

    my page ranks are 2 and 3 for two websites of me
    One of them is in Turkish
    they are really not good websites
    Do you want?
    Adding your website’s link is a great honor to me even if they ban my websites.

  12. 12. DaveN | November 25th 2006 @ 11:49 am

    it will not hurt your rankings linking to MattCutts.co.uk ..and GOKHAN is honour would be mine my friend.

    Dave.

    MSN can’t handle 301s….. It’s a problem they’ve got at the moment.

    MSNBot won’t visit the site - mine was last visited earlier Oct despite being #1 for competitive term for a year or so…
