    Well , One of my web directory may have the chance to go to first page for KW "web directory " in some days I think .


    But base on my past experience , MSN brings really low traffic (I have two web sites rank in top 3 of msn )....

    Any one here get the traffic from MSN ? I keep wondering about this ~:rolleyes:

    I always rank better in MSN, but the traffic is always a lot lower than google. Less than 10% of my google traffic.

    There is traffic there on MSN ... but you really need to research your target market first using some of the tools out there ... such as the Overture search suggestion tool or the user demographics available for advertisers on the MSN portal.

    Hi

    Yeah I get a reasonable amount of traffic from MSN 10% out of 10,000 uniques a month.

    We do rank well in all search engines

    Here take a look at this link.

    Thanx John

    750+ pages of One of my websites (started:Dec '05) is in the MSN index.
    0 pages in the google index.
    The visitors are very few from msn though.

    According to research by Hitwise there's a definite age bias to MSN. Teenagers score well. Middle aged business people score badly. If you're selling mobile phones or ringtones go for MSN.

    I've got one website pulling 9k a month from MSN and another 6k. MSN can bring traffic, especially for new websites. The key is on page SEO.

    That chart acually shows that MSN is losing Trafic from month to month in 2005. Very interesting if you ask me. I think its about time old billyboy reaches into those deep pockets and regains some market share in Online Search.

    Right now the only thing I see msn do is promise stuff and then take it back (e.g. their "we will outdo Google in 6 months" stunt). Their advertising campaign is inconsistent and there is no focus on increasing quality. From what I've experienced, having the same keyterms ranked at the same spot in msn and Google ... Google provides about 20-30 times the traffic.

    Neither of those sites rank strong for any major keyword. Just a bunch of descent one's.
