My Reply -

I would never use MSN's search over Google's search.

MSN brings queries 'targeted advertising'

Google brings nothing more than what it finds on pages througout the world. It returns pure results

If you have ever used skip tracing databases you would agree that nothing holds a candle to Google.

You can find dirt on just about everybody or any company on Google.

I open my browser with about:blank and immediately start using my Google toolbar to find what I need. I laugh at poor computer users who open internet explorer and are by default sent to msns home page.

I received some good traffic through Looksmart(via MSN)the last year or so,(actually probably the best $300 spent)
but I would never try to optimize for MSN over Google...

There is no way my computer is ever going to know what I want to search for unless I type it into my google toolbar -until the day comes when we speak to our computers and they understand what we want and return the information we need!
