    MSN Live Search Query

    Hello everyone,

    The day I installed VBSeo ( 6th December) Live search shot up in google analytics from zero to 24 searches for the day.

    This was shortlived and after a couple of weeks live searches were back to zero where they stayed ever since.

    Any ideas as to why?

    Here is my Screenshot for Live Search from Google Analytics

    They likely give a small incentive boosts to new sites, or sites showing an influx of larger pages. You benefited from this in a small way, and now you must focus on the long term.

    5 years ago, even Google would give incentives for newness or freshness of a site's content. One could do very well by launching new sites a monthly basis, taking advantage of temporal traffic influxes.

    Our site has been going for over 3 years.... or is this due to VBSeo and the rewriting of the URLs?



    Thanks Joe

    I'm sure they noticed that all of your users changed, which was correctly recognized as a major update to your site. For some keyword phrases (perhaps those you were already ranking for on keeper search result pages), you may have been given your temporary boost.

    Noone can be certain of the algorithms specifically, as they disclose only very limited details. However, it is possible they rank new content highly for a short period and then monitor the user clickthrough rate to determine if the new content demonstrates usefulness to search users. If not, it slides back down the rankings.

    Thankyou Joe for the explanation.... They are a mystery.... hopefully that google analytics curve will start climbing again.... Google is climbing up nicely since VBSeo installed...

    I never managed to have much success with MSN... they did launch some webmaster tools though however, limited but you can now submit a sitemap.

    Live Search Webmaster Center

    If you have a specific keyword or keywords, I know a trick that seems to be working for me, PM for details.
