Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the kinda-surprising-i-guess dept.

Scud writes "It appears that if you want to rise up in the rankings over at the MSN search engine you would do well to host your page on IIS. Ivor Hewitt has done a study and it appears that by using IIS, you are likely to increase your odds of a higher listing by several percent."

    It's clearly biased towards Internet Explorer too, the results I get back in Firefox are mostly irrelevant blogs and pages full of adverts.

    And then you would also need to move it _back_ to Apache to see if the ranking declines again.

    I thought moving it back to apache would be the natural thing to do after running a webpage on IIS for a short while... *shudder*
