According to this article, MSN search has been testing their beta search engine by occasionally routing regular searches to the beta. They now plan to begin "turning up the dial" by sending more and more users to the beta engine.

So, if your getting results from MSN now, they should only increase... :D

Interesting thing that I noticed over there at their dev weblog is that they made "improvements" to the inclusion of their newsbot into the search results. I am not sure if you guys read that thread over at DP about getting your blog pages indexed into Yahoo! index by including their RSS/XML feeds into a My Yahoo! account. But, I did some checking today and MSN has that same feature in their My MSN pages. They touted on the weblog a few days ago that you can use an RSS feed for a frequently used search query at MSN Search and put it into your My MSN page. But, I just put one of my RSS feeds into my My MSN account to see what happens. Food for thought.

MSN seems to care mostly about links.

I think the intent of Yahoo and MSN is to make Google and Adsense look like a diluted pay for position search engine that any kid can get an account for and show ads.
I don't think their policies can hold up in the long run.
I'll tell you this, I wouldn't waste my money with adsense. Too many clicking clubs and stuff already operating.
