Thats actually rather interesting since most of the visitors that come to my site are from msn search and then google second. Perhaps more people on msn are searching for content from my site than on google.

I think it depends on geographical position

 

[garpiya]

I think it also depends on men's aims (I mean what they want to find on the sites).

 

[bluearrow]

I thought Google has a bigger share than that.

That's interesting about geographical position. I have a site hosted in USA which gets more MSN spiders than Google. I am in the process of transferring it to UK host and so far have no MSN hits, although Google spiders have been busy. Do you have any evidence or stats, Mutogen?

There not really shocking results and anyone in the seo industry knows thats the order of preference but i did expect Google to have a little more than that.

Snowbird - Your site probably has a bigger backlink index in MSN rather than Google and probably a content rich site which MSN likes.
