Default Visitors using MSN are just as good as Google visitors

The visitors that want to have their floors refinished are just as willing to pay regardless of whether they found my website thru MSN or Google. I will admit that Google sends more visitors but to say one is better than the other is to lose sight of the goal which is to get more visitors. I simply don't care where they come from as long as they come.

I use a lot of different Search engines including

1 Google Search 63.5% 45916
2 Yahoo Search 12.8% 9243
3 Search MSN 10.2% 7353
4 Google Search (International) 5.8% 4229
5 AltaVista.com 2.6% 1886
6 AOL Search 1.9% 1392
7 InfoSpace 1.1% 781
8 DMOZ 0.5% 363
9 Google Directory 0.4% 270
10 Mamma 0.3% 228
11 MSN (International) 0.3% 202
12 Direct Hit 0.2% 151
13 Yahoo Search (International) 0.1% 100
14 Search.com 0.1% 68
15 Fast Search 0.1% 61
16 WebCrawler 0.0% 22
17 Iwon 0.0% 20
18 Dogpile 0.0% 14

Total Records Found: 18 Total Count: 72299

And that's just this year to date from my stats page.

Agreed with you Robertall to some extent. Google rocks. Google is the best to get most relevant results.

Yeah Google is the best so far, but don't forget that MSN has the worlds richest person behind it, and money can get you anything if you want it bad enough

Robert, do you use a file called robots.txt in the root of your server? You can tell the search engine bots when to visit, and also which pages to index, using this file.

I think the GoogleBot just boosted your placement for your websites for that post
