postheadericon New MSN Search Engine a Flop?

Andy Beal of the Search Engine lowdown has a good post today about the new MSN search engine and how many in the search engine community consider it a flop and "that MSN Search’s "marketing and attempts to connect just suck" and "my gut feeling is that they’ve blown it".

Andy Comments : Come off it! They only launched it a few weeks ago and they have 5 years of catching-up to do. I know for a fact that they are still working on refining the search engine and have efforts to reach out to the search marketing community. It may take a few months for them to gain traction, but don’t write them off in the first inning (remember the Red Sox vs the Yankees?).

I would agree with Andy here and I think so far that the MSN search engine is better then it was. I think it has a long ways to go to beat Google but I wouldnt count Microsoft out here at all.   

I think the results of the new search engine are better and I like a lot of the new features it has, not to mention that most all my sites are very well ranked!   I like the new feature at MSN where you can ask it a question, like "Who is the president?" or "What is the NRA?" and get the correct answer.   Google is still king but MSN and Yahoo are gaining.

Search Engine Optimization

SEO is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site or a web page (such as a blog) from search engines via "natural" or un-paid ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results as opposed to other forms of search engine marketing (SEM) which may deal with paid inclusion and pay per click.
