Web Marketing Tips

This is not earth shattering, but in my opinion MSN is a dumb search engine.  I’ve never really used but was very surprised when a site I was working on ended up in the top 10 very quickly.  I was working on optimizing a camping site for a very coveted phrase.  To my surprise the website ranked rapidly in the top ten for this large search phrase.  Of course I was happy but it led me to believe that the search results MSN gives are garbage.  I don’t fully understand why MSN ranked the site at the time.  I had just started.  The site had about 1,000 pages of content related to the theme, but had some big negatives in terms of SEO.

Few Links

New Site

Google and Yahoo still had the site somewhere in the 500+ range.  I had just started submitting to directories and writing a few external articles on sites like e-zine.  It just made me think that if this is what MSN thinks is a top ranking site then I question what other results it gives.  I think a lot of other people must agree because I was getting about 5 visitors a day from the keyword on MSN whereas Google was giving me well over a hundred when it reached the top 10 on Google for this phrase.
