Live Search Results Update

14th January 2008 by Kerry Dye

This blog is a bit of an update on what has occurred with our Live
Search results since I wrote a blog back last Autumn on the Live Search Recent Changes:

Pete also wrote this one on Live Search Webmaster
Center
- it is working now for me, although the information is light on detail. (Find some reviews of Live Search Webmaster Center here).

Regarding the results we have seen lately
from Live Search here are some bits and pieces. 

Sites are still not listed in Live Search
that were not before, so there is no improvement there. In the webmaster center
they just show "Last crawled date 00/00/0000" which isn’t very useful.

Our sites either showed a general rise or
general fall initially, but since then it has been mixed the same as it was before,
until the last couple of weeks when there has been a big update. UK sites first showed differences by making
gains in MSN UK, followed by
gains in the .com version and the regional versions (e.g France, Spain,
Germany). I would say the results from the regional versions are much closer to each other than they were before.

Given the general overall changes seen
throughout the depth of our clients’ search terms, this is a major algorithm
update. Here are some elements that I noted affecting rankings:
