There is some recent additional chatter in the WebmasterWorld thread, that was discussing the Live Search March Update, from late March.
It appears from the chatter that Microsoft is either still working out the kinks in the past update or rolling out a new update. We have two forum posts that suggest this behavior:
"Anyone else see the update rolled back?"No I see a shake up going on right now
I think I have never seen such an awful SERPS in my life. It's a total disaster now. Lot of widget-in-domain.com, shopzillas, and spammy junk.It looks like link quantity rules, and link quality doesn't matter. I can see websites that have nothing but 1,000s of links from article directories and spammy blogs ranking 1st to 3rd in a quite competitive niches.
The discussion continues about how much webmasters and SEOs dislike the current state of Live Search.
