Still Low Traffic from MSN

    I have noticed that my MSN traffis is really low. I only recieve about 3.7% of my search engine traffic from MSN. I also recieve 3.6% from altavista. As a contrast, I recieve 46% from Yahoo and almost exactly the same from Google. I get more visitors from some of the pages linking to me on thier deep pages. I was wondering what other people's experience is lately.

    Google is still the king for traffic and Yahoo tends to do more than double of what MSN does for traffic.

    Same here, even being ranked #1 on MSN for my KW, still brings me very little traffic on MSN

    I was comparing the same KW ranked #1 in both Yahoo and MSN. Yahoo did a little more than double the traffic of MSN for that KW

    I am currently getting almost exactly the same amount of traffic from Yahoo and MSN, with Yahoo being just above MSN. For Google, I am getting about 11 times as much traffic as MSN or Yahoo. Like most others, my rankings on MSN are higher than any of the others, but at present, it just doesn't bring the same level of traffic.

    For a subdomain on which I rank highly on MSN for two keywords I check on, I get 66.9% from MSN, as opposed to 31.6% from Google. (yahoo only brings 0.2%, although I have a decent ranking for one of the keywords there)

    I was hoping those MSN Search ads on TV would help but traffic from MSN is still low for me too. It would be nice if traffic were split more evenly between Google, Yahoo and MSN. That would even out the highs and lows more.

    Are those percentages based on all traffic, or search engine traffic only.
    Either way I get less than 1% from MSN.
    Google images is king for me, though Yahoo, I love, because they treat me as a King.

    I got huge traffic from MSN for quite a while, as well as yahoo. Then I skyrocketed in the google rankings, everything was wonderful from all 3 for a while. I suddenly died in the MSN and yahoo rankings at the same time. Google has remained strong, yahoo finally sort of resurfaced this week after their update, I am getting very little from MSN.

    Approx. 350 uniques from MSN this month compared to 4,000 from yahoo, 7,000 from google.
