Do you still consider MSN?

[Big Mountain]

I'm just wondering if your still considering MSN in you site optimization and marketing?
In my case I still do besides I still have good number of visitors from MSN.
What are your thoughts about this?

It seems that my "SEO style" is MSN style as I already have some good positions in SERPs, so yeah, I'm considering MSN. However, the quality of traffic is not that good. Maybe the keywords aren't that relevant, but still ... being #2 for 'hosting articles' I assumed that I get at least 1 visitors from MSN.

Well, I'm here ... waiting.

msn is really not used much in my country... I don't remember having more then 5 visits from it total ever in websites made in Croatian.

Sometimes I consider MSN but I prefer the result of Google.

My experience has been that you can typically get ranked more quickly with msn.

[jboeckman]

MSN for sure gives less traffic but I have found the traffic you do get tends to have a higher conversion rate. I think you should still consider MSN but I wouldn't focus too much time on MSN rankings because of the lower amount of traffic.

Not all the time. In my experience, its the google who quickly ranked a site.

I'd raather be you than me then! But MSN still gets a fair share of traffic, it shouldn't be your primary focus, but it should still be considered.

My second most organic search traffic comes from MSN. So it is important for me.

If it doesn't hurt Google side, yes of course.
Visitor is a visitor, regardless of where he voluntarily comes from.

I do not consider MSN.. I rank #4 in MSN for the most dominated keyword "HERBAL" .. but still hardly any traffic or no traffic at all. Where as in Google I rank for many keywords that does not have much of importance.. but I still get traffic for those keywords..

Infact after Live.com it is gone worst then ever. there is no competition between MSN and Google if it comes to search results and indexing for that matter.

In the UK, where the general internet psyche is still one small step behind the US, many users still have MSN set as their default homepage in Internet Explorer. However, Yahoo's still a favourite for many established internet users - us Brits are afraid of change!
