Which SE do you rank well in?
Which do you find easier to rank in is another way of putting the question.

For me, its definitely MSN
I seem to get great rankings only after 1-2 after making a new website.

MSN seems to be scanning a lot more frequently than google. I rank pretty well in MSN also but I receive very little clicks from it.

As the majority of internet users search using yahoo/msn/ask/google these are the ones I try to get the bots too!

MSN always seems to be quicker in listing, but after 12 months and a lot of backlinks google will literally leech your content!

If you use awstats, you can see the keyphrases used to find your site and the bots that have visited your site.

Dan, what do you mean leech your content? Steal it?

hehe :D

I mean spider it frequently, and add all of my updates. I have found once a domain ages and becomes established the search engine bots love it!

Of course arguable google do steal it... since they cache everything but that is a side issue!

I'd have to say that it has become more difficult over the past couple of years to get a good ranking on Google. I've been told that using their sitemaps feature seems to help, but I personally haven't noticed a big boost from it. This in itself has made me question Google's overall effectiveness as a search engine, and I'm more likely to use an alternative such as ask.com, msn or yahoo as my first choice.

I've also noticed that Google is very slow to update sites when they change. I completely renovated a site for a customer. Six months later, google still had nothing but the old pages indexed, even though their crawler visited the site regularly.

Sitemaps are only good to submit if there are pages on your site that aren't linked to. I'm ranked pretty good on Google for a certain keyword, but it's not searched that often so it doesn't do me much good.

Sitemaps are good anyway, helps google spider better. Im talking Google Sitemaps there, not sure about regular sitemaps.

Making a regular sitemap can also be beneficial to Google, but making one of those .xml sitemaps for Google Sitemaps is probably better. Regular sitemaps are more for users.

xml sitemaps can be read by any search engine too, not just google.
