Hello all,
I posted this at SEOChat, but I figured that news might not spread as fast as it should. While in New York hanging out with people like Kim K herself and Bill S., I was able to meet and talk to Eytan Seidman - the program manager for MSN Search. I emailed him when I got home and was able to interview the MSN Search team through a Public Relations contact. The interview is online at http://www.socengine.com/seo/guide/msn-sea...-interview.html Enjoy! It's not chock-full of SEO tips, but there is some interesting stuff in there. Also, thanks for welcoming me to your community - I'm very excited about my new moderating duties. |

Nice interview Rand. Perhaps a shame they weren't a little more open, some of the answers have the distinct sense of saying something, while not really saying anything at all
Though the last one was good, about areas they are looking to expand in. QUOTE MSN Search: Local, blogs, mobile, API’s and RSS are all important next areas of development for us and anyone serious about Search. Mainly things where they are playing catch up anyway, but still interesting. The 5 billion + documents is quite a number too. Google's got just over 8 billion quoted on the homepage right now, but it's still a pretty impressive number. |

I received the answers to the follow-up questions yesterday around 4pm, the initial questions were answered a week earlier.
They weren't particularly forthright, but at least they're talking to the community. I wish I could say the same of Google. |

Mate,
Thats gold. I love MSN Search and its great to see the human side. MSN has moved into second place on our stats meter behind Google. Its a 3:2:1 ratio of traffic with Google:MSN:Yahoo respectively. |
