MSN loves spammy promotion techniques too much. SEO who quickly jumped on the "we love MSN" bandwagon aren't so supportive as they were. I think that MSN gets the majority of its users from the computer illiterate at this point. So unless your industry is related to something that that particular demographic will want, your traffic will be low. Just my two cents.
I still see the majority of the MSN traffic coming in during normal business hours, so that makes me believe that the office networks (most of which have MSN as the default) are supporting that traffic.

If that is the case, when a surfer gets home they go back to their favorite SE. Either way, Yahoo and Google have managed to stay in the news as of late and MSN needs to get going on some PR.

HHI Golf Guy and Al are correct about still seeing a good amount of traffic from MSN, but if they check their logs I would be interested to know if it drops off after 5pm like I am showing.
