    I think the only people that use MSN are the internet newbies that open the browser and land on the msn page and search.

    msn is such a waste of breath and time, just optimize for Google, and if msn hits too ... then good.

    Actually, for some sites / products I find MSN (and Yahoo) convert much better than Google.

    The new Live.com SERPS are crazy. For one of my sites, I've held the #1 position for almost all of my keywords for the last year in MSN. Live has bumped me back 4 or 5 spots.

    I gave up with MSN a few months back. Though I still get a fair ammount of traffic from them. I actually do better with ask and have better conversions. Go figure!!!

    I remember at the beginning of the year it looked really promising. Now it's totally laughable.

    Same here. A lot of people I get from Ask turn into proper users or even new members. Must be very specific results. :)

    Don't underestimate the potential for MSN search (now live search). It is the default search for IE7 and will be for Vista as well. Vista will include desktop search also based on Live Search. So, chances are good that a significant number of people will be using live more often.

    The quality of results may not improve over time, but traffic probably will.

    I use their messenger because I have been on there since 1999 and too many friends in my list.
