MSN is foolish !?

kenni · 12-15-2005, 05:12 PM

I've recently created a website and within weeks i've managed to get a good ranking on MSN for let's say, a very good keyword. Yet on Google, i'm no-where near the first 10 pages for the keyword.

If MSN is this easily giving out ranks, wouldn't the spam sites easily manage to get good ranks?

Or do they have another factor that is stopping the SPAM sites :confused:

Hmm, your probably just lucky. Did you regg the domain for more than 1 year?

donlee2005 · 12-15-2005, 06:31 PM

Yes I to have had this experience. Quickly rising to rank in MSN is done alot while still not even near the top of the pack on Google. I dont know what the deal is.

different algorythms, thats why google will always be better =X

pairbrother · 12-17-2005, 01:50 PM

yep right..i actually had the same thought when my site was on no. 5 last week and today its on no. 3
take a look here

I dint changed it in a week and yet it gained 2 spots

and as u can see it was hosted by geocities....i think MSN is foolish
on google im at 30-40

on no.2 now...lol..thats the reason googlesearch is soooooooo better then msn

MSN is indeed much easier to get to the top than google. Call it luck or msn being stupid, who knows

Lpspider · 12-19-2005, 08:43 PM

I wouldn't say foolish, but yes, MSN is much MUCH easier to gain ranking in than Google or even Yahoo. I've noticed, however, that they tend to rank newer sites higher... interesting little feature.

All of my sites that have been around for more than two weeks are in the top teen on MSN for their select keywords... pretty cool. Too bad that they keywords don't generate many searches, and therefore I don't get much traffic.

Bummer.

Its very easy to get higher rankings in MSN. Just get right meta tags & keywords. I had my 3 websites on #1 for popular search terms very quickly.

GTAce · 12-21-2005, 02:30 AM

Like everybody has said, yes it is easier to rank in MSN...but I never have understood this...if it is easier for so many people, it has got to be hard for somebody...right? And google....if it is hard for so many people to rank...it has got to be easy for somebody...right? I just dont get it

lovelylovely · 12-21-2005, 07:59 AM

msn is always the easiest to get high ranks

GTAce · 12-21-2005, 02:34 PM

See, this doesnt make sense to me...How can it always be the easiest for everybody? I know it seems true, but it doesnt make sense logically

redQueen · 12-21-2005, 05:30 PM

MSN's algorithm gives a lot of credit to backlinks and is more compassionate to newer sites. While as for Google, it will take longer to get listed because it's algo gives regard to a site's age.

So it all boils down to the difference of their algorithms. Heh, yeah it's weird how easy it is to get indexed and grab good rankings from msn. I'd be astonished but it's not something I would complain about.

pairbrother · 12-21-2005, 05:44 PM

btw wht percentage of users actually use msn for search :p?
i guess not more than 7-8% of all the internet users? or still lesser ?

Lpspider · 12-21-2005, 07:34 PM

Not very many do use MSN search - though I think it's a little more than 7% - not much though. There are a lot more search engines, and MSN IS #3...

pairbrother · 12-23-2005, 04:24 PM

i reckon #2 is yahoo!

and maybe altavista, askjeeves comes somewhere in top 5!
