MSN is funny - site up for 1 week & ranked page 1

[GreggRio]

I usually make the first page in G for several terms but my main one "city" real estate I am on 4 in MSN. I'll try a site submission. I finally made a pr 3 last month and thought that would help, but no.Have very little msn traffic in my area.I guess with G headquarters a hour away, BG and company stay out of the area, especially since they flubbed on Y.

Yeah I like to think that if I'm ranking well in MSN I'm doing something wrong. From what I've read, heard and experienced they like spammy sites, spammy links and age.

It seems like they rank new sites really well for a few months and then drop them off for a while until they age.

I don't want to count out MSN traffic but I like to believe that Yahoo and MSN are moving towards Google's algo so I work on pleasing the G. It would be nice to get great traffic from all 3 though.

I have heard they like spammy sites and links too, but I don't think they factor age in too much. I have had several experiences where brand new sites were in the top 10 on MSN within 1 month, but they were for less popular keywords and they didn't give me much traffic at all.

Has anybody been ranked in the top 5 for MSN longer than 1 year? And I have heard a couple of times that MSN likes spammy sites what is ment by this?

[JohnMaklys6969]

Eric,
All your sites seem to do well on msn. It seems like always see them when I am looking for mine. Your doing something right

I find that live search really goes for the onpage optimization with some social bookmarking. I had super good results with my Point2Agent site by doing this. It was only up for 2 weeks and was at the #3 spot for my lone keyword.
