I am #1 in msn for bellingham real estate and bellingham wa real estate. On the other hand I am in the first second page in google for the terms. I suspect that msn likes a lot of fresh content. Maybe thats why I am out ranking all others I am not shure.

I have figured out google to a tee, I can write new pages and have them rank in a few days. but not shure why I am ranking so well in msn, not complainig at all. I just want to know. Maybe its rews seo friendly design I dunno. What would you guys say the major factors are in ranking well in msn.

I think you are right on with your thought that fresh content is a driving force with ranking well in MSN. I think MSN also looks at links in anchor text relevant to you key search phases. I have found that it is easier to rank quickly in MSN than any of the other major search engines.

Since you're now #1, sounds like you may have figured it out. Congrats!

You are dead on with your assumptions. MSN seems to like clean design & fresh content. It's great you're ranking well there, but don't chase MSN rankings, IMO. Ranking page 2 for a term in Google will usually get you the same traffic as a top 5 ranking in MSN. Top 5 in Google gets you incredible traffic.

I'll take any traffic from either search engine I can get. MSN does like fresher content and lots of links. How are you doing on Yahoo?

I'm not dogging the #1 ranking in MSN - that's great. My point is that it's much more effective to go after Google rankings. Top 5 in Google will get you much more traffic than top 5 in Yahoo & MSN combined.

I've had the same experience -- my REW site ranks page 1 on MSN but not very well on Google yet. I've also noticed that local competitors who were nowhere to be found jumped to page 1 on MSN after their sites were redone. Yah, msn must love fresh content + rew design.
