ok, I stated a poker site three weeks ago and i really focused on a certain key word, and now im 7th, 21st, 32nd in msn for that key word. is that normal? am i going to drop soon or if i keep doing what im doind i'll get higher. and are msn and google the same with regards to placment? becuase they give me very similar resualts, except im not in the google resualts.
Google and MSN search engines are completely different beasts. Basically, you can rank in MSN within days and Google within months. Google is more set on looking at link age/quality and domain age, whereas MSN you could rank well just by having your keywords in the domain. It's very easy to rank in MSN, but they're only garnering about 12% of SE traffic on the net.
Before I even read the post I knew what it was going to be about. Yeah, it pretty much happens to everyone. And what Voasi posted is correct.
That's only for Yahoo. There are plenty of keyword tools out there that will extrapolate searches across all the search engines.
