MSN has been indexing pages like crazy over the last couple months in preparation for overhauling their search engine. They've received their results from several sources over the last couple years but now are coming up with their own algorithm. They could be in the middle of a big battle including Google and Yahoo! So it would pay to make sure your web site is listing with MSN.

Yahoo! is gaining ground on Google and could pass them as the most popular search engine by early next year. When search technology was in its infancy, Yahoo! was the 500-pound Gorilla. Google is the big monkey now but Yahoo! and MSN are breathing down its hairy neck. Google seems to have a good group of people so I'm sure they'll know how to fight back. We'll see what happens in the coming months.
