Microsoft Shares Fall Due To MSN Search Performance
Author: Chris Costa
TheStreet.com reports that Microsoft’s share fell as much as 13% today due to Microsoft’s search engine, MSN Search. Microsoft was not prepared for "the rising cost of competing with the better-positioned Net players, notably Google," TheStreet.com reports.
Bloomberg reports that Microsoft may be "investing too much at the expense of profit" in MSN Internet properties, $2.4 billion more, to be exact. TheStreet.com says that MSN Search’s search revenues were down in the first quarter and that they expect MSN Search to "lose advertising share" in the 2006 calendar year.

SEO is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site or a web page (such as a blog) from search engines via "natural" or un-paid ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results as opposed to other forms of search engine marketing (SEM) which may deal with paid inclusion and pay per click.
