My sites are doing much better on MSN than Google.

Last week - 50 hits from MSN, 4 from Google.

Too bad more people use Google. Time to do a little SEO tweaking.

Anyone else having this experience?

I wonder if it has to do with the fact that Google is really, really slow about updating their index, it seems.

For instance - my old domain, patpaints.net, used to host forums for a political group (because I'm such a nice guy). All the forum pages (and the old, old site pages - we're talking before I used CSS) are still in the Google index, even though the domain leads to a GoDaddy domain parking page (even when it was forwarded to .com, they still didn't update - they just duplicated!). The forum pages have been gone for 4 months or more...

Google: "Results 1 - 6 of about 510 from patpaints.net" (search was 'site:patpaints.net')
MSN: "We couldn't find any results containing site:patpaints.net"

How obnoxious is that?

MSN: 1, Google: 0.

Haha... I know what you feel. My website gets visited by google about once a month... However, I just put online a brand new site (for our company)... In a couple of weeks all pages have been indexed, and google now comes back very week, even twice a week... Oh well, screw them. let's make our own search engine

Likewise, googlebot is on teetonic every few days or so. Shame we're still in the "sandbox" at the moment.

MSN tends to pick up my newer sites faster than google. after a few months tho i find google and yahoo provide more hits than MSN.
