Are your visitors from MSN?

    I got only 4 pages indexed in MSN, when Yahoo and Google indexed more than 1000 pages from my site.
    I did get some visitors from MSN every day when my site was new, but for more than a year now, I don't see any visitors search my site are from MSN.
    Is MSN a dead search engine? Are you getting visitors from MSN?

    I don't own any sites but it's not surprising to know because very few use MSN today.

    I have experienced the same thing when my site was new I ranked very well for some of the most competitive keywords in msn and I was getting some good traffic, I've been consistently building backlinks from the start. But right now I'm not ranking as well for those keywords and I'm getting very little traffic, it must be msn's algorithm.

    I get less than 20% traffic from MSN although I am ranked top 5, but with Google which I am still ranked top 5, I get nearly the rest of the 80% traffic.

    IT took about 8 months for MSN to send me any substantial visitors
    Since it took forever for MSN to crawl my site.

    Still 11 months after MSN knows only 200 out of the 3000 pages
    that exist (google knows about 2400 pages)
    but I do get 22% of my traffic from MSN + Live (12% + 10%)
    and 59% from google

    I think MSN and LIVE share the same indexing database actually

    And I am not talking about a small niche
    I am talking about "free online games" and
    600-1000 uniques a day on my site

    MSN is worth waiting for, just find a way to let your pages be crawled

    My visitors are not from MSN yet. I have to make a lot of SEO for that :)

    I get little to no traffic from MSN (Live).
    And consider that I have top positions.

    MSN share is less than 5% in most markets. Concentrate on Google and Yahoo.

    MSN has only indexed a small portion of my pages and delivers a small portion of my visitors. The big thing I notice about them is that they seem to deliver visitors from odd keywords that are not totally targeted to the site.
