Smile I receive more traffic from MSN & yahoo

I know that Google is the "big one" for search engines, but I receive much more of my traffic and serious property enquiries through the other big two.

Surprisingly - MSN spits out more traffic than any other SE and I have made omst of my money though MSN. Yahoo is not far behind, but google just has not lived up to the standards as the others. OK, some of the sites that I have and look after donīt rank well in Google but I am basing it on an average of all the sites.

Everyone barks on about Google - I donīt hate Google but I am leaning more towards the others due to the results that I get. Yes Google is the biggest and best know SE but do you guys find the same as me or is the USA big time Google?

I also get the most traffic from MSN. Google is next & Yahoo follows. I have one site with some top positioning in Google & another site on page one of G but MSN still beats them for me.

Google = 64% of my traffic. Everything else makes up the other 36%. Google owns MSN and Yahoo.

Obviously if you are number 1 on MSN and Number 999 on Google - More traffic will come from MSN.

And if you are number 4 in google for a search and number 10 in msn how do you explain that, that is why I ask the question.

MSN and yahoo seem to produce more traffic, my sites are well ranked (well some of them), everyone goes on about google this and google that, but for me I have generated more money from the other search engines. So its not whether I am ranked high in google or not, its where my sales come from and where I get the most traffic and interest from and that is not google.

Is the MSN keyword that is ranked high a stronger keyword than the G keyword that is ranked high?

Certanly MSN is much more friendly to web site owners.It seems easier to go to the top.Google is another matter.Mapping it helps

Im interested to see how Vistas messes with our numbers. They have live.com results as default in the browser. This should bring more searches to MSN.
