Likin' MSN
The comments about the new MSN being like the old Google are pretty true in my experience.
I'm please with my search result on MSN, I've got 4th position on page 1 for my top three keywords.
Thing is, when I launched this site last March, I had those results on Google as well. About 6 weeks later, gone.... never to return. I've fought our way back to page 2 twice only to be knocked off again. Now my product shows on page 2 but through a partner link, not my own site.
Thing is, the Google results for these terms are really heavy on the duplication for the first 3-4 pages. The same companies and products again and again. I'm noticing this same thing more often in my daily searches - multiple hits on the same sites and fewer and fewer options.
MSN, for my terms anyway, don't have more than one hit per site in their first 3-4 pages which makes (IMO) for a better search experience from the user perspective but also from a Marketer's perspective.
A lot of the time I feel like I've been drowned out by the big boys with their big staffs and big budgets on Google. I am certainly hoping that MSN stays on track.
