Default msn and google think differently

Hello, We have a site that does pretty well in our area for traffic from Google. We're even number one on Google.co.uk for certain key terms, and we are very UK oriented. However, on MSN we appear to be way down the rankings. The site is pretty well built with clean code. The text is a bit messy as it's over optimised by means of experimentation.
Before we rework it again, I'd really like to understand why MSN doesn't think as much of us as Google does. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Google places greater preference on links while MSN places greater preference on on-page optimization. They have diffrent algorithms also.

hi, how often do you update the pages on your site? MSN likes pages that are updated, so keep your content nice and updated.

We change the content regularly on occasion but the info doesn't really change. It's that kind of product. It is hard to write much about it.

If that is the case then i don't see any reason any increased ranking in yahoo for pages that are updated on a regular basis. Definitely with MSN though. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

i think that msn doesn't like the php page or prefers asp
try to put a link to microsoft site in index page like this:
<a title="update your internet explorer" href="www.microsoft.com/page to download it">update your microsoft internet explorer</a> -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

We try and avoid usng anything but W3C compiant HTML but rarely PHP, never ASP. I would never put a link to download an updated browser either. I don't actually see any relevance to this.

My pages mentioned are php, asp & htm. I don't see that the page extension has any relevance with msn. I wouldn't place a link to microsoft either - that's completely irrelevant. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
