Get a Higher Rank on MSN

November 15, 2008 by Butterfly Filed under: Search

MSN is an often over-looked search engine. Pretty much everybody focuses on Google and they completely ignore MSN and Yahoo.

But did you know that MSN traffic converts much higher than Google’s? It’s not known precisely why this is true, but many speculate that folks who use MSN are newer to the internet and are less skeptical. They’re more willing to fill out forms, join newsletters and buy products online.

It’s easier to get a higher search engine rank on MSN and Google, but it’s getting tougher all the time.

Here is one secret I’ve used to bolster my MSN rankings to a consistent top 5 ranking.

SEO friendly one way link directories. By SEO friendly I mean links that don’t use redirects to link to sites. They link directly so you pick up the full SEO link value.

There are two types of these sites. Free and paid.

Free, no shocker here, tend to not be as good, but they can still work. Simply plug in ‘SEO friendly one way link directories’ in your search engine of choice and you’ll find lists that link to them. I recommend submitting your URL to 25 of these free seo friendly link directories once a month.

For paid listings I’ve found that JoeAnt is always a quality link. One link from Joe Ant can boost you a full page. Plus, their listings tend to rank high on Google and MSN as well. For one of my sites I consistently get thirty targeted visitors a day from JoeAnt and convert about ten percent of those visitors into sales.

If you’re deadly serious about getting a higher rank on MSN invest in a link on Business.com. It’s expensive, but will always skyrocket your ranking on MSN.

Quality back-links are always a way to boost your site’s rankings on MSN.
