How does MSN differ to Google

They obviously have totally different algos, so how does msn differ to google?

MSN Search

• new to the search game
• is bad at determining if a link is natural or artificial in nature
• due to sucking at link analysis they place too much weight on the page content
• their poor relevancy algorithms cause a heavy bias toward commercial results
• likes bursty recent links
• new sites that are generally untrusted in other systems can rank quickly in MSN Search
• things like cheesy off topic reciprocal links still work great in MSN Search

Google

• has been in the search game a long time, and saw the web graph when it is much cleaner than the current web graph
• is much better than the other engines at determining if a link is a true editorial citation or an artificial link
• looks for natural link growth over time
• heavily biases search results toward informational resources
• trusts old sites way too much
• a page on a site or subdomain of a site with significant age or link related trust can rank much better than it should, even with no external citations
• they have aggressive duplicate content filters that filter out many pages with similar content
• if a page is obviously focused on a term they may filter the document out for that term. on page variation and link anchor text variation are important. a page with a single reference or a few references of a modifier will frequently outrank pages that are heavily focused on a search phrase containing that modifier
• crawl depth determined not only by link quantity, but also link quality. Excessive low quality links may make your site less likely to be crawled deep or even included in the index.
• things like cheesy off topic reciprocal links are generally ineffective in Google when you consider the associated opportunity cost

Well said.. but MSN is not new in SE...........

Both being quite fundamentally different to each other. Both have always strived for different goals. Google does global search where as yahoo has its own directory and results are confined to its directory only.

One big difference is the webmaster tools.

MSN gives you a very basic set of tools to work with. You get very little information about your keyword ranking, what search results your page showed up on, little information about "how" msn sees your site.

While on the other hand, google webmaster tools gives you a wide range of information about your site.

Yeah kev webmaster tool is the one of the big difference between them

well google has more search links.

A lot of difference, google is more informative.

True and its not only that for most cases you can find it very easy to used as it was a user friendly. Google still can help beginners and professionals finding their need in a single search.

Never tried MSN, I always use google.

Well Every search Engine is Different from another search Engine

Google is much more used than MSN. And it has way much more indexed sites than other SE.

I thing all search engine are differ from other..actually Google is the best for all other..And all have it's own functionality..and thinks for this sharing difference.

People knows that already and in due respect people tend to depend in Google as they basis on how well they site are performing.

MSN is not really new when it comes to search engine, what are the difference between MSN and Google is that google is widely used by most users and MSN is only third and lastly webmaster used webmaster tools which more useful in google than MSN.

Google likes link popularity,keywords in the header,title,url and URL. MSN mainly focus on page optimization.
