A few days ago a friend told me about a site where a report is being sold for $67. This report is claimed to have contained the secret of getting #1 ranking on MSN search engine for any keywords. For all of you who are not very tech savvy , let me tell you that MSN is the search engine of Microsoft and is the third most popular search engine in the world after Google and Yahoo.
It is also known as Live.com
So this guy is claiming to have known the ultimate secret to rank number one on Live.com for any keyword.
He is also showing his result in a Youtube video. See for yourself :
By the time this video first appear on Youtube (2nd November I think), this guy was ranking number one on MSN organic search results for the following keywords:
- Online Credit (online-credit.org, now nowhere in the results)
- get rid of debt (get-rid-of-debt.org, now at number 6)
- poor credit rating (poor-credit-rating.com, now nowhere in the results)
- reducing debt (reducing-debt.net, still number one)
- low mortgage (low-mortgage.org, now at number 3)
- bicycle accessories (bicycle-accessories.org, now nowhere in the results)
- debt assistance (debt-assistance.net, now at number 7)
You can check for your self by conducting a search in Live.com for the above keywords.
As you can see within a span of 10 days, most of his keywords have fallen from their number one position. However, this report is selling like hot cakes on Clickbank.com and has become the number one product in the Marketing & Ads category.
Just why on earth people are going crazy on a technique which can’t even withstand a period of 10 days ?
There are two answers for this question : Greed and frustration.
Greed because everybody wants to get the elusive number one spot on his desired keyword and make huge pile of cash. If you can secure a #3 spot out of 35,400,000 results for the keyword ‘low mortgage’, you can monetized this position in any way you want.
Frustration because it is becoming more and more difficult to rank on the first page of Google. The entire Search Engine industry revolves around getting top position in Google and it is difficult to get a top ranking in Google without following an intense and systematic plan of link building and content creation. In such a scenario , if someone gives a recipe to rank in top 10 results of world’s third most popular search engine, it is going to create massive interest among people. No wonder this product is selling hot.
Now let us come to the report itself. I have read this report and I must say that it does contain some very unique method for attaining top position in MSN. However, I don’t think that the creator of the report can explain why some of his sites completely disappeared from the search engine result.
Second important thing about this report is that contrary to what has been claimed by the author, you can not rank your existing website for the desired keyword. One of the most important prerequisite of this technique is to have your domain name exactly the same as your keywords. For example see the above list, all keywords and their domain names are identical (reducing debt : reducing-debt.net etc)
Apart from the above, there is a powerful link rotating suggestion in the report which keeps creating new links for your desired domain. I shall not reveal about this method as it will be disclosing too much info.
However, I think that this report is highly overpriced for the info it provides. All of you who have some experience of SEO must know that MSN’s search results are heavily favored towards domains name containing exact keywords in them. Let me show you this with an example.
Every month the keyword ‘Make money on internet’ is searched 1900 times (as exact search), 4400 time (as phrase search) and 49500 times (as broad search) on Google. Though most of this search are conducted on Google, assuming that some percentage of search on this keyword also comes to MSN, we should assume that there must be some competitive sites in the top 10 search results of MSN for this keyword.
However, if you search the keyword ‘make money on internet’ (without quotes), you will find that out of a total 154,000,000 results, the number 9 position is occupied by a website where not even a single article is written !!
Here is this site. Just a freshly installed WordPress blog !
So this is the situation of MSN. No wonder a guy finds a loophole to control MSN’s search engine results.

What I always wonder about these schemes is that if someone genuinely had an amazing way to make money/rank a website e.t.c. why the hell would they be sharing those secrets! If an aggressive internet marketer had one of these ‘secrets’ he would be using it to make money himself!
I would like to thank you for uncovering this ebook for what it is, a fad. Hopfully the website will drop even further down the rankings.
Thanks for the clarification, I searched the same in other search engines and it didn’t give results anywhere near plus I doubt it works if default language as not English.
Curious also about ranking techniques. I was about to purchase the program until I read your information.
So, you definitely suggest we don’t buy?
yes. It’s not worth it.
I strongly agree with you, it’s very “redung-culus” for that “other guy” was claiming. Well only the un-experience will be net`ed through his site. Unfortunate for them who don’t research first.
Just wanted to say that I did purchase Ranking Loophole,and did very well with site placement in a matter of weeks. I was competing against 96,000,000 other sites and gained a ranking as high as #4. I understand that their are a lot of tekkies, willing to give their opinion on these matters, and that is great, because it helps those of us who are not as knowledgeable when it comes tio how these rthings actually work…..but you are not always right. As a matter of fact, I did not have to implement each and all the techniques explained….as I went about setting up my site. Just wanted you to know that it worked for me.
