Congrats. My site is still sitting pretty at #1 out of 154 million. Yahoo is being very nice to me. I also noticed tons of improvements in MSN. Trying to break the 1000 visitors a day mark.
Congrats!!! That's badass, I am actually reworking the site to be more of a IMDB clone type of thing with more options, but, I will continue the blog format to keep relevant content in it.
Getting quickly indexed and ranked high in MSN is SOOO easy!!!! A few sites I created reached #1 in two/three weeks.
It sure is easy to rank in top 5 for MSN, but when I check my stats what I see? I see 10-20 visitors/day from MSN and one of my sites for ex. is first for 4-5 keys that wordtraker indicates a total of 2000 searches/day. I really don't know if it's MSN so rarely used or I should trust another tool and not Wordtracker. A good tip would be extremly useful. 0.1 cents... does this count ?
im still trying to break the 100 mark (( >_> So far i'm at 50-60. But thats because my site is only about 4 weeks old. Recently i been getting so much traffic from google tho. a little bit from msn. But i dont understand, why does MSN suck? MSN can be so great, if they just worked at it... dang let me run MSN, they don't do anything new, what the hell do they do all day? Is it that hard to make a few features like google does? Just hire 3-5 webmasters :/
Is MSN a joke? I would not count out Bill Gates.. Recently he said his biggest threat is google, and I'm sure he's laying the plans of attack right now..
Why don't you start your own search engine then? I'd like to see what kind of improvements you can make over MSN.
If i was rich i would. >_> step 1: hire people to work on your algo step 2: index lots of sites step 3: make your algo even better by hiring better engineers step 4: hire some professional webmasters to make the search engine as FAST and clean looking as possible (and compatible) step 5: hire an extra team of support and an extra team of web designers for extra features. step 6: hire a brain storming team, and create something like MSN-Adz step 7: secretly hire a team of hac-- ok wait thats a bit too far.
I think its pretty easy if you do basic seo stuff, and a visitor is a visitor is a visitor.... I dont care if they come from....but in my experience yahoo visitors bought more of my products
MSN is like the kind of joke where you laugh at the person telling it rather than laughing with him. I think the problem many people are having with msn is that they do have the resources to do better but haven't done so yet.
I like MSN because they don't do updates that drop half of my rankings and cause me to pull all my hair out.
You like them from an seo's perspective, but how about from a web searcher's perspective. Do you use them and are you satisfied with the results that they supply?
I just had 3 sites indexed and placed at #1 within a week, but then all of a sudden my latest few sites haven't gotten listed after 3 weeks. Some of them are listed in the results when you search for the site url, but can't be found when searching for the keywords... others just aren't there yet.
I was doing great till this weather report they just did. I still have some nice #1 postions but I lost a lot of my terms.
MSN loves me, all my site rank very well in MSN. But still traffic from google is much higher. I think you can't really make any money from MSN traffic, it's like a joke ..
