Either almost no one actually uses MSN Search and MSN Live, or MSN just really hates me.

Take a look at these actual referrer stats:

• Google 863447
• Yahoo! 37792
• Google (cache) 27954
• Google (Images) 12895
• AOL 8066
• Unknown search engines 5374
• MSN Search 2158
• Comet toolbar search 1285
• Windows Live 1241
  

What does it take to succeed in MSN Search and MSN Live that is different than Google?

Hello Will,
You are very true... i've same bad stats like this...
except Google, AOL and Yahoo Search Engine all other search engines are dead .. like Ask, Altavista, etc.. they give no traffic at all.. no matter if your website is #1 at those search engines..
i've seen my some websites are on 3rd and 4th page in google index, and same are on top 5 in MSN, but it never gave me any traffic.. and those which are on google gives me good traffic even they are at 3rd and 4th page..

I seldom use MSN Search for my search activity , i found that everytime i use MSN for search , the result is not WYSIWYG ... It's quite hardly to use .
Btw , i use hotmail for my personal email . perhaps , that's my first email account . untill now!
