I am 4th in MSN for a keyword that gets 5000+ in overture for searches on Yahoo and yet i'm seeing prectically no traffic from it. Should MSN be getting lots of searches too? Derek
yes, msn also gets alot of searches, it had some less share ... but still if you are in 4th u should get some traffic
I see very little traffic from msn for almost everything. It's nice to see a trickle on new sites while I wait for Google to kick in.... but it certainly would never pay the bills.
MSN I find can be very up and down in terms of traffic...sometimes you'll get next to nothing for being on the first page and other days the traffic flow will keep you plenty happy...MSN definitely won't keep you fed for terms that don't look like they get a ton of searches on overtures tools.
At this point almost all of my traffic is from MSN. Its not much...but its better than nothing. You will have good days and very low days but you will get some traffic.
IMO, about 1/4th to 1/8th what overture reports for MSN searches and then you will get a fraction of that dependent on your position. Even #1 is a fraction.
even for me msn is not working so good but the reason is that my rankings are not good there so I think a good ranked website in msn should get high traffic... I m not even in the first 3 pages still I get good traffic from them
Just hang in there. Any site takes time to build up its following. MSN is no different. You should also try to optimize your site even more and get higher in ranking and you should see your traffic increase considerably from them.
