Most people talk about Google and Yahoo but few rely on MSN for their online, small business needs.
I have always had the impression that MSN only served large companies with big budgets so I never considered SEO focused on MSN. Is there enough ROI to justify special optimization for MSN?

I don't think so that focusing on a specific search engine while seoing your site is important, almost 70-80% processes are the same for all search engines. the rest efforts will have to be put on that with Google results whether Google, Yahoo or MSN

I hear so much more about Google than MSN, or Yahoo for that matter, that I haven't thought of it as a search engine worth using. I guess I should reconsider if there are not special techniques needed get the most from being listed.

MSN isn't really the best search engine, at least from my experiences. Not many people use it, so I think it is best for them to focus on the bigger search engines like Yahoo and Google.

Makes sense, annerz.
Before I even consider MSN when thinking about SEO, I start thinking about much smaller, niche type engine. Guess that doesn't sound too good for MAN!
LOL

but MSN does count still.
especially when scoring a site's SEO.
your backlinks from google, yahoo, and others (msn included), will be counted there.

I have learned many things from this thread as I am not really keen with SEO of other search engines, only with Google.

I'm inclined to agree with the comments above about popularity. While it is always a good idea to submit your website to as many search engines as possible, MSN isn't popular so it may not be a huge loss.

I have heard that MSN has some unorthodox procedures. I will not mention them here so do not ask. But I believe that is why people do not like the.

MSN is not my choice either. Yahoo or Google are the first preferred ones over the MSN. I do not know any of the unorthodox procedures but personally don't like MSN.

MSN may have some unorthodox procedures but then again, Google has a lot and they're starting to use more. Business is a tricky subject, people will do anything to get ahead.

You do it right. People have forgotten to use the golden rule in everything they do. Simply put, do unto others as you would have them do unto you!

I actually hate 'using' MSN as a search engine, so I have no desire to try to specifically optimize for them. And from my own site stats, it appears that most of my viewers are finding me through other engines anyway, and MSN ranks fairly low, so I'm okay with focusing on the others.

I can't say I know anyone that uses MSN as a search engine to be honost, they just don't have the features and the customers that Yahoo or Google would have.

That's true. I've never seen anyone use MSN as their primary search engine. For a while I liked askjeeves.com. Years ago, there were tons of them competing, but anymore most people use Yahoo or Google.

I tried sticking by Yahoo for years because I used their email, but now every time I try to use it, I end up going back to Google anyway. None of the others have that great of search results any more, so it's kinda sad.
