MSN Traffic Blows Away Google Traffic (See Screenshots)
(2 votes, average: 4.5 out of 5)
Loading ...No you didn’t misread the title. MSN traffic blew away Google traffic for me yesterday on two separate domains as shown by the traffic screenshots below. Although the MSN traffic was short-lived, it was nice seeing a few thousand visitors from MSN in one day. I’m sure you’re wondering how did I get so much MSN traffic? I not only had one search term but two search terms listed on MSN A-list Searches which is linked to from the MSN homepage and both search terms appeared within Today’s Hot Topic.
The website in the first and second screenshot is 6 months old and 90% of the traffic comes from Google except for yesterday where you can see the huge traffic spike in which MSN sent me over 12,000 unique visitors and I was only ranked seventh for that particular search term.
The third screenshot below is from a site 1.5 years old and in which about 70% of the traffic is from Google, 25% from Yahoo and MSN ranking third. Although MSN traffic from Live had a harder time outdoing Google, MSN still sent more visitors than Google for the day.
While the MSN traffic didn’t last long, it sure was sweet and made me a few extra hundred in a niche not known for high pay. Anybody else receive a huge traffic spike from MSN before? If so, I’d love to hear your story.
