How much traffic does MSN bring you?

I spemd my time with google, but I look a MSN results on a regular basis. I notice that I am in the top 3 for almost any keyword I target. I am happy about that, but I noticed that Traffic from MSN is weak sauce compared to Google.

So I am curious if anyone else does really well on MSN, but does not get that much traffic from it.

I know Google is what, 40% of the market share, and MSN is waaaay down the list, but I would expect to get more traffic from them consodering some of these keywords are in a niche almost as competitive as casinos and real estate.

Just curious.

Not alot from MSN for any of my established sites (rank well in all engines)... appx 6-12% of the search engine traffic, but that 6-12% would certainly be noticed if it wasn't there.

I have an online gambling portal that has been around for just over a year. I do rather poorly with Google and receive absolutely no traffic from Yahoo whatsoever. However, looking at my January traffic stats, I have received over 3,000 unique hits from MSN thus far. I rank very highly for several keywords/phrases. Those stats are fairly consistent as to how I have done over the past year on MSN too.
