I think MSN/Live is finally dead. Even ASK and AOL sends more traffic

    I get more hits from a link exhcange with Davesdaily.com than msn/live in any given month. No keyword required either.

    So for for me this month:

    Google 3872
    Yahoo 96
    AOL 82
    MSN 18...I get more hits from this forum than msn.

    Well I hope they don't die. They are sending me thousands of visitors everyday for a lawyer website. Ok I admit it, they are sucking for every other site I have.

    Who's AltaVista?

    Just kidding ;)

    Seriously though, I think that MSN is pretty much dead.

    Well it depends on your niche I suppose.
    One of my sites is getting decent traffic from Live Image search.

    MSN only controls less than 10% of the market. So don't be surprised you don't get any traffic from it

    I'm thinking this is the answer here. Who knows...maybe it's 1%. It's about 1% from my results on APC at best. On my road rage site I get about 10% from msn.

    All the same was curious who uses what so here is a poll:

    If windows live were to have a cool T.V commercial done... some sort of global marketing, i think they would see a lot more traffic. and so will i because i rank really high there.

    MSN is far from dead IMO.
    Most of our sites still receives decent amount of referrals from MSN - usually about 20%.
