MSN Optimization? How?
It is almost impossible to get it right from the start. Much of the SEO process is based on trial and error. There are no precise criteria for each search engine. Basically, what is good for one might be good (or better, or even worse) for the other.
Experts say that, in order to get as much MSN traffic as possible, it's enough to follow the basic guidelines with, of course, some adjustments that will differentiate your MSN marketing strategies from the ones
Many Business and Opportunity Companies and their owners are quite upset that the FTC or Federal Trade Commission is making them a separate category from the Franchise Rule, but there are good reasons for this. You see there is a big difference from Business Opportunities, Multi-Level Marketing and the World of Franchising. Franchising represents nearly 35% of the consumer spending in our GDP and does it with fewer than 3500 Corporations.The fraud rates in franchising is under 1% based on complaints at the FTC or Federal Trade Commission. In the recent rule and regulations reviews on Franchising and Biz Ops under the franchise rule many commenters on both sides of this debate spoke out. It seems that;“Rule Review and ANPR commenters and participants overwhelmingly urged the Commission to promulgate a separate business opportunity rule. As an initial matter, several commenters observed that business opportunit
Google has imposed itself as the "top-notch" search engine on the market, leaving little room for others. Little, but enough, some would say. Among the search engines, Microsoft's MSN comes third, after Google and Yahoo. So, how do you approach search engine optimization nowadays? Where should your site rank better?
Ideally, optimization for the web should satisfy all major search engines, but each and every one of them has its own likes and dislikes. Most of the SEO is done for Google, because what they advertise is quality, relevance and low spam content. Given that Google's brand is so strong, is MSN search engine optimization worth the effort?
MSN vs. Google
Opinions vary. Everybody knows that it's rather hard to get Google to rank your site high in the search results. Most of the search engine optimization techniques used nowadays are meant to be relevant almost exclusively for Google. Every webmaster is concerned with code structure, sitemaps, keyword density, anchor texts, links and so on. Google is rather hard to please, especially when it comes to newly created sites.
The much-feared "sandbox" is a side-product of Google, where the new pages end up until Google considers them mature enough to be ranked in the search results. It's a drawback, and there's not much anybody can do about it, because one of the things that are valued by Google is the age of a web page.
What about MSN? In this case, things tend to be a little smoother. MSN seems to really like new pages, and it has no sandbox. It doesn't use an "age filter" and classifies sites much faster. Therefore, it is highly probable that the amount of results that a web user might get for a given search to be significantly higher than the one obtained from Google. Also, it appears that the search speed is higher with MSN than with Google. This may be because their index is considerably smaller than Google's.
Reports show that Google is already a saturated search engine. Its users see so many websites that they don't have the patience to spend much time on any given site, but still want to visit others as quickly as possible. On the other hand, it appears that MSN users are more likely to produce conversions (sales). This probability is 48% higher for MSN users than for any other Internet users.
This can be a factor that might influence the adoption of some MSN marketing strategies. The conversion ratio is paramount for any commercial website, and such indicators could most probably lead to actions meant to improve the MSN ranking for this type of sites.

I once overheard one executive comment to another, "I noticed that you park in the spot every day. You are usually the first one here, but you always park at the far end of the first row. I like variety and always look for the best spot."The other executive replied, "When people arrive at work they see my car in the same place every day. They look for it, they know that I am here and waiting for them even before they walk through the door. They know that they can count on me to be consistent, even in the little things."While variety is the spice of life, make sure that the people around you know that they can count on you, and that they know what to expect. If you are consistent with your actions and decisions, and you communicate your reasons, then the people around you will be able to anticipate action or response. Imagine how powerful the organization would be if all of the people within it could anticipat

Meetings are a fact of business life, but most of them are frustrating and time-consuming. The results are rarely worth the time and effort of the many people involved.

For example, “To decide on a marketing plan and determine the implementation responsibilities for everyone in the group. To be completed by September 30

When I was recruiting a call center staff for a Fortune 500 company, one of my associates fielded an inquiry from an applicant, and then handed the phone to me.“The job sounds interesting,” the caller said, and then she whispered, “But is there a window?”“A window?”I wasn’t sure about what she meant.“Is there a window in your call center? Can you see out, when you’re calling? I have to have a window, or I’ll go crazy!”I told her there was a window, with a beautiful view of the parking lot, but she had to be standing next to the copier to see it.“Sorry, that won’t do. Bye!”Well, you have to hand it to her. She knows the conditions under which she works best.Can you say the same thing about yourself?For instance, do you think you would make more sales if you were asked to make cold calls from your own, private office or while seated in a bullpen with a number of

MSN is dedicated to satisfying the visitors. Therefore, MSN wants to make sure that they can offer web surfers a high probability of finding what they want on your site. A well-developed site, with many pages and homogenous content will rank much better than a smaller site with poorly organized content (supposing that these two sites apply the ranking factors in a similar manner).
Creating a good, easy-to-navigate sitemap will not only help the search engine's spiders crawl your site, but it will also add to its value for the visitors.
Microsoft's search engine has a great response to an increased keyword density (as opposed to Google, which is quite quick at identifying and penalizing sites that, according to its algorithm, are clearly spamming - and sometimes it is not far from the truth). This orientation towards quantity rather than quality makes MSN more spam oriented. But the criteria for choosing the right keywords for your site remain, basically, the same.
Therefore, the more back-links you have, the better. Bear in mind though that the quality of the links is a plus, as well as their relevance to the optimization aiming website. This will help spiders to completely index the website, thus leading to an improved visibility among search results. The logical approach is to focus on building high-quality links towards the site and its content, which will eventually help you rank well in other search engines too.
MSN will give credit to the new content and to the inbound links quite quickly. You should not forget about clean code. It is a major factor for site indexing, and even MSN, which is not as demanding as Google, will rank poorly sites with badly written code.
The TITLE tags are among the most important code elements which you can rely on if you want to improve your MSN traffic. They occupy a top position in the algorithm used by MSN. Consider it your exhibition room. When somebody is looking at the SERP (Search Engine Results Page), the first thing they see is the title of your page. In order to encourage a web user to click on it, it has to be as descriptive and as "appealing" as possible. But don't exaggerate; about 80 characters should be more than enough.
One of MSN's drawbacks is represented by its robots, used for page indexing, so keep them in mind. They have difficulties in indexing pages that contain frames, pictures, flash elements, Java script or dynamic URLs. If your site uses image or script based navigation, it is advisable to use text links as well, both within the content and at the bottom
