Following the alliance of Prudential with Yahoo in Yahoo Real Estate section, RE/MAX is testing an alliance with MSN and taking it one step further. After a long research of MSN/Live combined data by RE/Max on visit/lead rates comparing the MSN Real Estate, MSN organic results and paid results, RE/MAX has published a press release stating that they have chosen MLS/Live search in an organic result partnership where Remax is promised all the organic results by MSN in the metropolitan cities as the RE/MAX name will clearly create a quality search result for clients giving them the option to choose any RE/MAX agent they want. The first test result of this alliance is Atlanta Real Estate market search result. We can clearly see from the search that the first attempt on this alliance was a complete success. Re/Max has established 100% domination by allowing MSN/Live search visitors to choose from 488 agents in the top RE/MAX franchise in Atlanta by dominating the first 49 pages of the organic search results for the Atlanta Real Estate Keyword.

MSN Spokesperson Liv Sarge Sox stated by giving a full roster of agents in the search results we offer our clients a quality search experience and a boost in the paid advertising revenue. Both companies have also stated the continued relationship between two companies will continue in other major cities.

Disclaimer: The above news, press statements, and people mentioned are products of fiction and this whole post was just one big hoax. The only true fact is that on April 11, 2008, MSN results literally showed only one single website that belonged to RE/MAX for 49 straight pages. I believe this is a new record in Search Engine World history where a single domain with 488 subdomains can dominate 49 straight pages in a “respectable” search engine for a very competitive keyword.
