My site SearchBliss was on page one of MSN for several keywords, including "web tools", but now It's dropped to page 4, 5, and six for half of the terms. Is anyone else seeing these types of changes?

yep, i have noticed this.
My directory used to rank #1 on msn for a term and now its nowhere to be seen.

Yes, I'm seeing major changes as well in MSN.

i didnt c a change in the morning.. but now i do see some changes.

some of my keywords have climbed up to the first or 2nd page

I also noticed that MSN uses my DMOZ description, which is out dated. Could this be the problem? Their cache of my sitr is accurate however.

I noticed a bit of change. In the MSN SERPs

I have been watching this keyword amber

The site for amber the artist
amber-mcc.com has moved from #9

Dj Amber iamthedj.com dropped down to #3

A geology page is now number one. emporia.edu/earthsci/amber/amber.htm

Amber is a stone too.

Maybe they are shifting to more science related sites. That would be pretty cool.

Do your competing sites have more science related articles or links.

I think I have MSN search down as far as optimization.
Here's a keyphrase I've been posting in various places.
the most visited site on the internet

MSN was easier to list high. I've made some changes, so I'll have to wait and see.

Suddenly I'm back on page 1 for the key terms, and #1 for "free web tools". So things are actually improving. It must of needed to settle.
