ok so I'm not sure what's going on... back a few months back when I launched one of my sites I was getting decent traffic from msn right from the start... then I started to do things properly, reading up on dp learning optimizing doing some seo... anyway so google organic traffic started going up but then msn traffic just died... yahoo was never good... past week organic traffic looks like this google 774 msn 31 yahoo 28 why the big difference in numbers? any ideas would be great so I can try to get some more traffic from the other two... thanks guys
If you were doing well in MSN and recently were noticing a drop in traffic, I would have to thinkit is because MSN moved to their "Live" search a while back and they have been playing wth their algo in preperation for Vista's launch. (of course that is just opinion ) With Yahoo i had some success using thier authentication tool. Seems that they are crawling me much more than they used to and I see rankings increased all across the board on Y! terryuk is right, they have different methods for producing results, so each will be different, but I would just focus on Google as imho Yahoo and MSN do not hold a candle to the amount of traffic you will get from Google.
it's just wierd that in the end they're trying to find the best content for the customer and that there is such a big difference between them..
