In my case I get the highest traffic from MSN.
MSN doesn’t have sand box. Since you are indexed you can get high position.
That is not the case with Google and its famous sandbox phenomenon.
I am indexed but rank very poorly.
And Yahoo is the worst case. I am not yet indexed in period of five months
Conclusion: MSN is the best for the beginners like me
Current MSN probably is not so important as many would think. Traffic from MSN is very low compared to yahoo or google.
But Bill Gates and Micorsoft seems to hammer Google soon. If they are serious enough, they can do a lot like they did to netscape. So in the future, MSN can be better than yahoo and google. I guess we'll see that.
msn is much easier to rank in than google, but it's traffic is usually much less than from google.
With the release of Windows msn (live.com) will probably gain more traffic.
Also i think we should pay more attention to Bill who promised to fight google
You never know what traffic will come from MSN. I get a lot of traffic from that search engine by natural searches. i wouldnt spend any advertising money there but it doesnt hurt to market your website to them. Bill Gates has the power to fight google and I think he will take the time to do it considering if done properly, he can make even more money and Bill likes that! Dont leave out search engines like MSN, they are still one of the majors!
MSN gave me a good traffic but this month not. I can't understand why? I promote my site only by honest ways. But I think it is temporary, because a good content wins always
I dont think MSN will overtake google. Google is a craze right now. Since Bill Gates has retired from Microsoft, MSN i dont think will try to do such a massive campaign to overtake Google. However, anything is possible, but currently If you do well in Google, most likely you'll do well in the others.
