My blog ranking very, very well!!!

    I was very amazed to see that I’ve been getting some heavy traffic from MSN search lately. So I decided to investigate and needles to say that was really surprised to find out that my blog portugalAlive.blogspot.com was ranking so well in MSN.

    World cup team rankings – 1st place
    2006 world cup team rankings – 1st place
    Fifa world rankings – 3rd place
    Fifa world rankings 2006 – 6th place
    World cup team rankings – 1st place
    Portugal – 5th place

    As you can see these are very good keywords/phrases especially now, a few weeks before the world cup starts. Why is MSN ranking my blog so highly? What do you think of these numbers?

    I do have to admit that this blog contains a little SEO but nothing that justifies these numbers (I don’t even ping, today was the first time I pinged in months).

    Hehe, woah man, that's great though! How about your rankings with Google though? I've never really understood MSN's ranking methods, they seem off compared to Google's...

    Time to get some nice adsense or Adcentre ads on there eh?

    I don’t know what’s happening really. I’ve been well ranked in MSN before but never with this many keywords. The funny part is that until about a week ago my blog was inactive.

    Anyway I’ve drop a few in ranking for the keyword “Portugal”.

    Regular updates, a few backlinks and pinging once in a while is sure to work for MSN!

    Yes, I would understand if it was for very specific targeted keywords but never for these ones!!!

    We are a few weeks away from the world cup and these Keywords are very popular. How on earth did my blog rank so well that’s what I don’t understand.

    I fixed the blog a little and added a few more keywords in order to try and keep the blog on the first page. Adsense is also targeting my blog with a lot of ads so that’s also helping. Now I guess I’ll have to wait and see. ;)

    not to rain on your parade but MSN gives high and quick rankings for blogspot sites. just hope they don't delete your site. as they did mine once it started getting a lot of traffic (blogspot tha tis not msn)!!!
