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 didn’t even bother to check Google because I know that my blog won’t even show in any of these searches. I don’t know how MSN works but they shore love my blog…. I’m working on it… Going wild here…. Come on MSN make Daddy rich$$$
Hey man thats good news....I was told that MSN ranks your sites first then Yahoo, then the daddy of all GOOGLE.. Like with my blog i see alot in msn and not much in google or yahoo. If i was you just ride the wave!!!maybe msn saw you love the world cup and said hey lets rank this blog for the world cup rob
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 “Portugalâ€.
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.
If I was ranking this well on google I’d be planning my vacation right now…. I guess this is only a start, who knows google might follow on MSN’s steps….dream…dream…
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)!!!
