I've read a few threads and it seems pretty certain that MS has changed something, assume their algorithm, that is affecting a lot of site traffic. Ok, granted MS traffic was a smaller portion of overall traffic previously but now it appears to be worse then ever. I'm wondering why... Is this MS trying to beat Google and Yahoo ? I do display AdWords on my site but no MS advertising; could this be it ? As at least one other has commented, and I would concur, I'm not about to change my site to suit MS and risk losing Google but it would be good to know why just in case a change that would help MS traffic might also help Google traffic.

Would you mind sending me your URL so I can take a look ? Either something I'm doing or your not doing must be the cause.
i did not noticed any difference. my blog in turkish had some lov Visits last days but its cause Turk Telecom have problems this days with people who work for it
My traffic really spiked, then returned to normal. So, I guess I am on the other end of your spectrum.
Well I was getting traffic from MS (although very little) but what ever MS did to there algorithm, it blew me right of there map . I am not even indexed anymore... I emailed them last week but have not received a reply as of yet.. I guess time will tell. I was dropped on 3 oct.
In the past week with msn I went from 1rst in my keyword to not even being in the top 10 pages for my home page. Although I still have other pages ranked highly by msn. Have not made any changes in homepage, they had to make drastic changes in algorythem.
October 2nd was where I got the hit, my traffic dropped by 90% and i was also ranked #3 on competitive keywords and now i am no where to be found, i was ranked #3 for a few months. I am still on the first page of google and yahoo but could use a couple of hundred uniques a day from live and msn; anybody know what is going? nothing was changed on my site, I just built more back links....anyone think server configuration could have done something, i know the only thing i did on my server was disable the FTP service, i know that sounds crazy but i am just trying to find an excuse.....
no drop here, got about ~3k from live this month about 400 higher then last month already. still nothing compared to google and yahoo.
