Thread: Does anyone use MSN?

Does anyone use MSN as a primary search engine? I only use it to see if I am still on page 1.

Very rarely do I use it

In the time it takes for all the ads to load, I could have already searched what I wanted at Google.

Definitely not.
What's MSN?

Never did I made it as my main search engine. I am more than happy with Google.

Sometimes i used MSN, but most of the time I am using google..

If I´m not satisfied with the search results showing up at google, or I want to get more informations about a topic I try to use other search engines like MSM and Yahoo Search!

I used MSN Sometimes.

I'm not using MSN when it comes in searching any data. But sometimes, I visit it just to check their updates.

I use only MSN when I really needed it like if my clients want to talk to me or I am talking with someone important but when talking with friends I use yahoo messenger

I use MSN messanger for chat but for search Bing is terrible.

I rarely use it..I only used it when checking my e-mails in there.

Bing replaces MSN and i think it gave good results compared to the old msn so i used it sometimes.

Yeah, Bing is much better than the old MSN. I'm still a Google user though.

I do sometimes. Well it's Bing now, but whatever.

It depends what i'm searching for. Bing is usually better than google and yahoo for finding academic things (e.g. journals, academic papers, etc. - I have to reference them in essays at uni, hence how I found this out).

I believe MSN does not offer a very good search results, in that situation I do not use MSN.

I only used it very rare, but I am more on google.

Google fan here, personally I don't see why people would use any other search engine?

I am not using it at all; I might not even recall the exact URL of the site

I prefer Google and sometimes Yahoo, but not MSN... With ages ago I did used it, because I did not know much about the Internet and the online things out there

I used it only once to find some fotos or something of the kind. I can't say that it was easy. I prefer Google more.

a lot of my organic traffic are came from bing...

I never use them... I just stick with google

I havent tried using it when comes to searching I usually use either google or yahoo since I could already find interesting facts and search facts when using both

I think everyone uses Google as a there primary search engine than they go for the yahoo and after it they go for the MSN. I prefer Google as a primary search engine.

Hi Friend,

With comparision with google & yahoo yes definately msn never get high preference than the other two.... bt in some cases at the time of SEO related job or you can say in time of site promotion somne times MSN is very much useful...

here are some factors, which are (or at least are strongly believed to be) of importance when Bing optimization is concerned :

Backlinks are of less importance : *If you compare the first 10 results in Bing and Google, it is noticeable that all equal, the winners in Bing have less backlinks than the winners in Google. It is unclear if nofollow matters with Bing.

Inbound anchor text matters more : The quantity of quality inbound links might be of less importance for Bing but the anchor text certainly matters more. Actually, since anchor text is one of the measurements of the quality of inbound links, it isn't much different. Get quality anchor text and you will do well in both Bing and Google.

Link spamming won't do much for you on Bing : Since the quantity of backinks (even if they are of supreme quality) seems to be of less importance to Bing, link spamming will be even less effective than with Google.

Onpage factors matter more than with Google : This is one of the most controversial points. Many SEO experts disagree but many also think that onpage factors matter more with Bing than with Google. Still, it has nothing to do with the 90s, when onpage factors were definitive.

Bing pays more attention to the authority of the site : If this is true, this is bad news for bloggers and small sites because it means that search results are distorted in favor of older sites and/or sites of authoritative organizations. Age of domain is also very important with Bing – even more than with Google.

PR matters less : *When you perform a search for a competitive keyword and you see a couple of PR2 or even PR1 sites among the top 10 results, this might make you wonder. On Google this is hardly possible but on Bing it looks quite normal.

Fresh content matters less : Bing looks a bit conservative – or maybe it just can't index sites that quickly – but it seems that fresh content is not so vital as with Google. This is related to the age of domain specifics and as a result you will see ancient pages rank high (but these ancient pages are relevant to the search query).

Bing is more Flash-friendly : *Optimizing a Flash site for Google is a bit of a SEO nightmare. It is too early to say but it looks like Bing is more Flash-friendly, which is good news to all sites where Flash is (still) heavily employed.

I hardly use it to search, prefer the nice simple interface of Google

im using msn but the often ucz its not user friendly for me unlike yahoo messenger.

I never used MSN as a primary search engine, but used MSN chat messenger for chat purpose. It also allows you to have voice chat.

Satisfied not with the search results showing up at Google, or I want to get more information’s about a topic I try to use other search engines like MSM and Yahoo Search!

yup very rarely from long as there is always shortage of time as we keep on moving forward

In 100 times, It would be used about 5 times by me.
