Yes, I would also agree with nutsandbolts.

Why is MSN more visited than Google, their MSN bot hits our site much more than Google, they update their cache results faster than Google but we get hardly any visitor from MSN, despite ranking in top 10 results on very big keywords.

I am really amazed at the progress MSN has made in the past 6 months. You guys have finally added stock quotes search from fieldbox, definition search, the engine looks alot smarter than it was a year ago, at this speed you guys will topple Google for sure. I think you just need to whack that search bar in every Windows desktop in the next release and you will take down G*. :)

The traffic conversion is the main problem - I am doing very well on MSN, especially with my new sites being on the first page near the top, but I'm getting very little traffic compared to Google where the sites typically feature on pages two or three.
Surely MSN gets oodles of traffic, so what can MSN do to improve this?

BTW, I'd like to also add that I tried to uninstall the Google toolbar, only to re-install it a week later, the MSN toolbar lacks a few important features such as "open search in new windows".. or was this it Y! bar.. hmm
