The title speaks for itself, and although MSN won my most recent relevancy test competition, something is completely backwards about the search engine. When I say that it sucks, I'm speaking strictly as a frustrated webmaster and SEOer.
Complaint #1: I have sites ranked in the top 3 in both Google and Yahoo while MSN doesn't even recognize the site. Tens of thousands of backlinks, thousands of pages, a high level of authority, and MSN doesn't have the site in it's index yet? Something's wrong here.
Complaint #2: I can create a new website with a domain name of www.My-Keyword.com, and be ranked in the top 5 in less than a week. Why should domain name have that much weight?
Memo to the Live.com engineers: bring your search algorithm into the 21st century, because honestly, it's awful.
Just my 2 cents.

MSN's Live.com search engine really sucks

if the site is not even indexed in MSN it has nothing to do with their algo right?
Rather with a problem their crawlers encounter on that site..maybe a redirect or something. It has nothing to do with their algo.
And also Google gives the same importance to the keywords in the domain name-maybe bigger.
MSN has just become a complete joke. I honestly believe that they no longer spend anything on their search engine. Hence the ridiculous outcomes.
P.S. I also get top billing on kw's in my url with them, before I create any backlinks at all. Weird.
I couldn't agree more. Google owns 60% of the search engine market. it is where I get most of my traffic.
MSN is indexing slower the sites and maybe that is why that site wasn't even recognized. And I disagree MSN is useless..is just no match for Google but not useless. Not yet
Hasn't google started to follow this trend, in a so so manner as of late?
