MSN & Yahoo more friendly than Google

karnetics · 06-22-2007, 01:50 PM

For the past several months I have been studying and researching the seo market. And for my website uwantads.com and logoauction.net I have been targeting Google.com as far as my seo strategy goes. But as I review my web traffic analysts tool. 90% of my traffic is coming from MSN.com and Yahoo.com. I am finding that google is not as friendly as the rest of the search engines with it comes to seo strategy.

I have 60-70% of visitors from Google. MSN and Yahoo played major role when Google didn't trust my site only. Once my site made a break-through in Google I am happy with traffic that Google is sending to me. MSN and Yahoo don't have that power like Google even if you compare traffic from both of them to Google's potential. This is meant generally, not about your site.

Would you mind sharing how you pulled that off?
I get 80% from Google, I am looking to diversify

I have know idea. I target my seo strategy towards google. But I have a better ranking withing yahoo and MSN. I have notice that google really only give your site credit when linked to website with PR5 or higher, which I have yet to do.

MSN & Yahoo are more friendly, however most people only use google to search

It really is not the matter of being more or less friendly, of different procedures.

Google, from day one was famous to be harder than the other two engines when it comes to getting to the top rankings, due to different algo structure, a dedicated SE team and offering better results.

But it seems so strange that I am targeting my seo practice towards google and all my hits are coming from yahoo and msn

charlesgan · 06-23-2007, 12:32 PM

then i am more lucky.
targeting google.. got 80% search from google.

sniperhiga · 06-23-2007, 06:12 PM

It is different for every site. One of my clients has over 1000 daily visitors and only 2-3% was from Google, more than 60% from MSN.
Later when we did some optimization we reached over 500 uniques from Google a day but still... his MSN traffic are huge.

Perhaps you rank much better and for many more search terms in Yahoo and MSN.

You know, I have research that, and I do rank better on yahoo and msn!!

They might be friendly but they do not generate traffic at all.

From G I receive about 4-5 K./ day and from yahoo and msn, 0, nada.

cityba · 06-24-2007, 10:26 AM

Targeting msn 2-3 %,Google 90% me website.

paladin2 · 06-24-2007, 12:06 PM

I receive nothing from MSN and yahoo. that is wired, because some other sites of mine, receives traffic from all 3 major search engines.

It is almost impossible to get good traffic from all major search enginees in 1-2 years. Practice shows that only sites which online for a while with good link portfolio can get good traffic from all search engines.

I think your ranking would depend on how you optimized your site. You should balance your optimization for major search engine. Google gives priority to quality links while yahoo and MSN give priority to contents.
