I have a feeling Live Search gets minimal amounts of traffic. I’ve noticed that I almost get no traffic from it even though my rankings would be similar to what they are on google. I’ll try and find my actual numbers later to post similar comparisons

- So I thought it would be interesting to look at my results from the different search engines. Here’s my numbers for March so far:
google (organic) 13,696 51.31%
yahoo (organic) 7,042 26.38%
msn (organic) 335 1.26%
As you can see from this, MSN is almost inconsequential. It’s roughly 1/50 of Google’s results, whereas Yahoo is 1/2. Show’s how limited MSN’s performance is.
- That’s where the question arises. CAN somebody take back some of Google’s marketshare? Is it even possible?

Again, it’s all a delicate balance. You want to make money on the web, but forcing products down a reader’s throat is not the best way to do it. Some people get overly agressive trying to sell affiliate products and it’s not worth reading. They won’t build a user base and so, they won’t make the money they’re trying to make.

There used to be a service that you could use where you could enter your site and it would crawl the web looking for duplicate content to that found on your pages. I unfortunately don’t remember what the site was anymore, but it made it a lot easier to find when people were copying the things you wrote.

We have numerous sites in position one in Live/MSN with absolutely no visitors from Microsoft search. Actually, I can’t ever remember seeing a referral from MSN for any of the many sites we monitor.
Also, it seems that MSN mirrors Yahoo’s search results as the position movements are almost 100% identical.
article in this site very grade and benefit for me, am will be save this blog link in my favorite
page and am will be to visit again to here
i think next to google search, msn live search give enough traffic…
Live search does the job, but not that we’ll for my part. It’s better if we work it manually. that’s how i see it because it really showed me how worth it working on it.

I don’t think they get enough traffic to be worthy of consideration. After all, Google has the lion’s share of that market wrapped up.
Live Search is becoming a haven for spammers, it apparently places FAR too much emphasis on on page SEO factors, which means when you’ve worked out what it likes, you can feed in thousands of pages which are virtually guaranteed to rank well.
Even for the small amount of users it has, if you can get enough pages indexed and ranking, you can still get some traffic!
Live all most lost, not because they poor but others and specially Google is Best, so here pure competition if Live want Search Market Share then it must need to be Best.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who is thinking that msn is useless. I have not payed any attention to them in some time, any traffic that comes from msn is incidental at best. Seems like Google (and maybe yahoo) is where its at.
