Are MSN users dumber than Google users?

[irideflatland]

It seems like using AdCenter would be better for zip/email submits, because lots of MSN users aren't computer/internet savvy, and they just keep the default homepage. If a person knows to change the homepage to google, then they are probably more aware that there's more to zip submit than just submitting your zip code.

Am I right?

Are you an MSN user? I thought so.

 

[ayzo]

That is correct.

Those that use MSN are those that couldnt figure out how to change their default search engine.

What is this 'google' you speak of?

 

[gosu22]

Yeah, they're less internet/tech savvy than Google users, not necessarily more stupid.

Why is this a thread, seriously?

Google is just considered more hip MSN is considered old school I guess more for baby boomers.

I know lol. Some idiot covered it in a 'case study' for G, Y, and MSN.

Beats being a Lycos user (usually a sign the person has a computer older than dirt )

Though it does seem like the google users... if google goes down at all, its like a million geeks cried out in panic, not knowing of any other search engines.

Google went down in the UK for an hour or so in the past, and it was on the fucking news as the site that never goes down, down ¬_¬.

I remember when once gmail went down for 8 hours or so, and people were going crazy on all forums. Pretty funny.

As a non-PPC guy, that thread was very good for me. Organically speaking, MSN is easier to rank for than google. It would be interesting to see if the ROI for similar sites would be close to the same doing organic SERP promotion as opposed to PPC. Google sends more traffic, MSN sends much better conversions.

Say what you will about ROIshare, but I quite dugg that rundown. Stuff that might be obvious to PPCers through their personal testing isn't always common knowledge to others in the business.
