Here's an objective search: "conjugation decir"
Here, this shows the relevence problem much better.

Search "Conjugation decir" (without the quotes).
This is a very objective test because its easy to see if the result is a page with the conjugation of decir in it or not and those are faily obscure terms so not heavily spammed.

Google top result is an about.com page with the full conjugation of that verb in all its tenses. Spot on.

MSNs, is a page that doesn't contain the conjugation, but a link to it. When you click the link the page only shows the present tense.
The verbix entry is a generic verbs page, the spanishunlimited is the same, a generic verb page.

MS guys, I played with the last beta of this and it wasn't great but it was better than this.
