MSN Search Engine - Only Strategy?

    Has anyone ever tried optimizing a site only for MSN search?

    Here is my thinking: in some cases, the fast, more reliable rankings you can get from MSN using classic SEO techniques is a good investment of effort relative to , say, ranking in Google. Possibly this would be true for keywords that are more consumer-oriented and pay well yet are not so saturated with competition.

    my website is ranked high on msn on several keywords but I get less than 5% of traffic from it. 90%+ traffic is from google! So, optimizing for google is the way to go.

    I can't agree that MSN is not as good as Google. Even for more competitive keywords MSN index newest websites quicker that Google.

    In my experience, optimizing for google will result in a high MSN ranking as a side effect.

    I have ranked top 3 on MSN for some good keywords and for the same keywords I ranked 2nd or 3rd page on Google however the traffic for Google was still much bigger then the traffic I received from top 3 placements with MSN.

    I have good msn rankings and 5% of traffic is from msn.

    Definitely its good as a backup to google rankings. At least you will have something if your Google rankings tank.

    I am at a loss as well. Several weblogs and still nothing I do makes MSN happy. Maybe it is a Wordpress/MSN issue. I will make a new thread regarding this and see what everyone says about it...

    I've never really 'optimized' my web site for MSN, I always have been lucky with the rankings on MSN -- I've always ranked well with the keywords I've chosen, and I've also received some traffic.
