I haev finally been able to get one of my sites to the very first page of MSN. One keyword I am the top listing, the other keyword, I am the third. I am so excited as I have never been ale to do that before. Sorry I just had to tell someone.
I really did not do anything special. All I did was do major searches on what keywords where being used to find what my site is about and incorporate them into my keywords. I then made sure I used those keywords often on my pages. That is all.
Yeah... unfortunately MSN can kind of be a false hope. The first week I worked on my site, I ranked #1 in MSN. After that, it dropped to like 900, while my ranking in Google steadily rose.
Yeah it's very easy to get top 10 ranking on msn, problem with it is that it brings almost zero traffic.
It's so horribly true. Ranking #1 I got like 500 hits a day, MAYBE. Now I rank much lower in Google - same keyword - and get thousands of visitors daily from that keyword.
I did absolutley no link building whatsoever. I rank on the second page on google for the same keyword. I get no traffic from MSN either.
thats pretty good if you didnt do any link building. I've had my blog for 2 weeks now and im ranked 1st for keyowrd and 4th for another on MSN
Haaa haaa.. my website got ranked at 1st page without doing anything special.... MSN is very different that google in rankings of websites !
I don't know the exact number, it was significantly lower than what I have now from Google - that's all I was trying to convey. You're probably right, it was probably closer to 100 or even lower.
how many searchs per day for this keyword checked byWordtracker?as my experience ,you can get about 5% traffice from that.
A portion of your success with MSN will be attributed to your domain name and keyword relevancy for that keyword and your topic. MSN places more weight on keywords in the domain than Google and Yahoo. Google and Yahoo use many other page factors to determine ranking and even more off page factors. The index for MSN is about one third the size of Yahoo and about 1 5 th size of Google. It is a great place to start and to hone your SEO skills as you can get ranking fairly easily and they index new sites very quickly. Congrats!
Welcome to the SEO club then, but there are better ways to get ranked other then just putting keywords.
