    Hi,
    You should not expect nearly as much traffic from MSN as you can from Google simply because Google has many many more users.


    1.If your pages are updates regularly with new content your site will get more MSN traffic. MSN favours fresh contents.

    2.DO the Title , Meta description ,Meta Keywords

    <head>
    DO the Title , Meta description ,Meta Keywords,
    Like his
    <Title> ABC Company | Keywords A | Keywords B </Title>
    <meta name= " keywords" content=" Keywords A , Keywords B">
    <meta name= "description" content="ABC company was established on ....and base on Keywords a...>
    </head>

    3.try using live space which is their blog. it helps

    Starting a blog on MSN live space can help though not much.

    MSN is bit slow in updating their index. Also the traffic is way too low compared to Google.

    However the traffic you get from MSN will covert better and getting ranked in MSN is not that difficult since their search engine algo is not so advanced like Google.

    With MSN you should be able to improve your rankings just by getting a large amount of links with your target keywords as link anchor text. If you get hundreds of visitors a day from Google and Yahoo, you should be receiving at least a few dozen from MSN (if you had similar rankings).

    MSN is basically follow what google follows. Optimize your sits has you will do for google and it will get the rankings.
    it is damn much easier in MSN than Google as I have done a lot of times.

    The majority of traffic should come from google and yahoo. MSN does not yeild the same results so stay focused on the two big ones.

    MSN was an after thought to me at first until they ranked me high for a good mortgage term. I only get about 10-12 a day, but the click throughs are good.

    Let's say you have a unique domain The7BikeStore.com, you search on google:
    - ''The7BikeStore'' - Your site is ranked #1 THAT's almost naturally. 100%
    - ''7Bike Store'' - Your site is ranked #1
    - ''The 7Bike Store'' - Your site is ranked #1
    After a while your sites gets also ranked on these terms;
    - ''7Bike''
    - ''Bike Store''
    - etc

    Google is smart.

    But on BING/LIVE/MSN for example; you search ''The7BikeStore'', it isn't obvious that your website gets ranked on the first page, first place. (Like google)

    How dumb BING can be.

    I agree with this. I have noticed this feature also. For Google, if you search for your domain keyword then you can see instantly that you are appearing in the serp's but in the case of bing it is not so clear.

    I agree with your point of view. Because I also have a medical transcription website and my 80 to 90 percent of traffic from Google and less than 5 percent from yahoo and 1 percent from Bing. You can say it is no hard and fast role for getting traffic from Bing.

    Basically the big three (Google, Yahoo, and MSN) are distilling down to the same basics: good on-page with substantial off-page focus. The days of optimizing for one and not the others are basically over. With Google being the most difficult, if you focus on Google, your SERPs in both Yahoo and MSN will be exemplary.
