Don’t count out MSN for a large traffic surge!

Everyone is trying to get more traffic. Anyone would love to have their website rank #1 on google.

Google can surely send a typhoon of free traffic, and it is highly targeted traffic, and can greatly improve any business.

The problem though with google is that everybody and their sister is trying to rank for google – and only google. This is to your benefit though, if you leave google aside and aim for MSN live search instead.

Face it – on google it takes extreme effort to get on the first page of search results, and most likely if you’re not in the first 50 results you’re not going to get any traffic.

Another scary thing about google is that even if you do make it to the first page of the google search results, you may not remain there. All it takes is one update to their algorithm, and you’re back at square one.

The fact is: Only the largest – most established authority sites will ever see consistent traffic from google, and even their traffic will fluctuate frequently.

It’s nearly impossible for the little guy to get ahead via google.

Getting ranked in google requires a major promotional budget, an extreme amount of free time on your hands, not to mention you need to wait at least a year or so till your domain is ‘trusted’ google by default trusts older domains over newer domains.

Search marketing has become a game where only big business can compete anymore.

That’s the state of Google, so I say – Forget Google!

Google is not the little guy’s friend. MSN Live Search, on the other hand is easier to rank for the little guy. In fact with MSN Live search it’s easy to get a one or two page website rapidly ranked in the top 5 spots for basically any keyword.

Is this for real? You bet it is!

Don’t count on this working for Google though, but with MSN you can still get a ton of traffic. Did I mention that MSN traffic converts better too?

Sure MSN doesn’t have the reach that google does, but live search receives millions of searches daily, after all it is the default home page for Internet Explorer users, and 85% of people use internet explorer.

Just to put things in perspective, Which scenario would drive more traffic:

1. Ranking #2 for your best keyword phrase on MSN
2  Ranking #46 on google on page 5 of Google’s results?

Did you know it will take three times as much time, money, and effort to get to #47 on google, as it will to get to #1 on msn?

Now imagine instead of having 1 website in the top 50 of google for your keyword and having 3 ranked #1 on microsoft live search.

How does it work?
