Question: What payment model does MSN plan to implement?
MSN – More similar to Google, and not Yahoo. They won’t have paid inclusion. They add another component to the CPC x CTR. They take into account the audience and use that info to determine the ranking.
There's actually a whole big bag of goodies in the MarketerToday piece about the Search Engine Summit at the Annual Catalog Conference. Well worth a gander...
- Y! MyWeb

Looks interesting
And competition has got to be good all round even if MSN doesnt make all that big a splash
you are looking at the wrong place ....
I Found something else which is much more of a new to me, it is :
MSN – Discussed the recent launch of the new MSN Search. Admitted they > had been losing ground to Google and Yahoo. Discussed their removal of > paid inclusion. Discussed launch of spam detection.
what is this "launch of spam detection" ... any pointers ?
