MSN vs Google
// October 16th, 2008 // No Comments » // Uncategorized
I love Wordpress as stated in the post before this one. Because of this I have a couple of sites that I play around with so I can learn without messing up my real estate site.
On one of the play sites, I have the majority of traffic coming from MSN; probably 90% of it. But on the real estate site it is 90% Google traffic. I can’t point to anything that causes one thing or the other. I do similar SEO things for both.
Interestingly I couldn’t find an article on how to improve my MSN results but there are tons of articles on how to improve Google searching you. I really don’t know why anyone would use something other than Google. It works like I need and any time I tried to use another search engine I was not impressed.
But that doesn’t change the fact that MSN likes one of my sites. Should I push to get more MSN searchers on my real estate site? Or is the difference in the search results indicative of the people who are searching for certain terms? As I delve deeper into the internet void I may learn that answer.
On this site I will be doing no SEO tricks, no tags, no categories, no sitemaps, no outbound links unless I have to, or anything else. My name is in the title. I won’t use it again anywhere as this site was really just a placeholder for my name as a domain. I did decide to put a sitemeter on here just to track if anyone comes here when I really am not trying. It is a good way to see how important SEO really is.
