Not sure why but i rank for higher on msn than google and yahoo!! For "Campsite Search" and quite well for "Campsite" on msn.co.uk What does MSN's spiders do different... will anyone ever know???? www.ecampsite.co.uk is my site!
It's known that MSN is much easier to rank on. Probably due to stronger emphasis on on-site optimizations.
It seems that inbound links work well in all three SEs but MSN does like many onpage factors. Like H tags for an example.
Any new sites that I have, always get ranked better on msn first. Definitely looks like the onpage factors play more of a role on msn. Hopefully that doesn't change anytime to soon, because msn actually gives new sites a shot of getting some traffic.
From my experience MSN's spider puts both Google's and Yahoo's spider to shame. The speed in which it indexes is faster by leaps and bounds than any other search spiders.
Today my index page disappeared from no.1 position but I know what the reason is. Almost the day / day after a new link pointing was to my site from a related online resource, I disappeared and I climbed. I don't know where to climb now since, I'm already there but I'll cement that position.
msn is in fact must faster but their algorithm needs some more professionality i think they will put some efforts into their search engine in 2006 and something similar to AdSense will be published for sure... i just hope that the spiders will keep on crawling and evaluating this fast
Right now i am loving Msn. The engine is the fasted at indexing new sites and they love good on page seo. Good Seo plus some links means top placements and fast. Last week i put up a new site and withen 3 days i was making money with the site all ready.
MSN is fast to rank and gives me some extra traffic so all I can say is.. I rank well in MSN and I LOVE IT!
MSN works for me, it does not give me as much traffic as Yahoo, Google, but it does provide me traffic for my most competitive keywords.
MSN and Yahoo spend all day crawling one of my sites in daily basis so my personal hit parade is as follow: best rank, linkbacks and traffic coming from: 1- Altavista 2- MSN 3- Yahoo 4- Others 5- Google do not understand why Google simply hates that site related to internet and web development.
I noticed that new sites get rank fast in msn but... will slowly droping until seen no where. But blog sites rank well.
Without a doubt MSN has a much faster spider. Try this... Request a link or setup a link on a site. Then start running MarketLeap.com's link report and your link will appear on MSN weeks before the other engines get it.
well guys, in my opinion it is easy to get top position bit keep maintaining is difficult in msn. Best of Luck.
