I am about to pay $300 for my first LS listing. Could you tell me briefly how MSN ranks LS listings if I wanna to target 'USB', 'USB drivers', 'USB NT', 'USB 2.0'.

I would like to discuss this with anyone.

Hi USBnuts:

MSN usually presents Looksmart results on top of the page before regular web pages from Inktomi. It appears that they use the "hidden" keywords LS associates with a site in the ranking, but it may also be that your title and URL play a part in the ranking.

Remeber that if (when) LS mangles your carefully written title you have 30 days to request a change. In order for a change request to be effective you need to have some plausable reasons why your sugestin would make for more relevant searching for LS users. Don't forget that the LS editors will probably trash any demanding or insistent messages, so make your change request well thought out and pleasant
