    It is so much easier to get into top 10 in MSN. 95% of my trafic comes from there.
    G sux!

    Yahoo and Google are just slower to rank a site but once they rank you, they produce way more traffic than MSN.

    I get most of my traffic on most semi new sites from MSN... a new site launched 3 weeks ago has been very hard to get in even in msn... but I guess I just gotta keep at it :D

    Add fresh content. Blogs work good for keeping fresh content on the site.

    My msn rankings have gone away. Really I don't miss them too much, G has always given me 5 times the traffic. Hopefully MSN will return again...

    Same here. MSN has remained my friend consistently. Google is slow to come around.

    You may find it isn't a permanent drop in rankings. I've experienced the same to have MSN reestablish the same rankings after a day or so.

    MSNdude has posted a thread over on WMW for anyone who is interested. He has asked for feedback on MSN SERPs, maybe well worth stickying him if you have any questions.

    I think they are applying kind of spam filtering. my site has been affected after buying a site-wide link from ebay. my site was affected only for the keyword that is being used in the anchor text.
    I don't know how long this will last.:confused:

    I couldn't agree more. Google results include a lot of national sites when I am looknig for local data and use the local town name. MSN is nearly all relevant local sites.

    I am very interested to find out what MSN might call "spam". I am working on a site that just got dumped from MSN for many keywords while at the same time, gained many nice positions in Yahoo. I am still trying to figure out why. :confused:
