The All New MSN toolbar - Will search trends change?

The new MSN toolbar will be preinstalled as part ofrepparttar IE7 browser and so will not need any active participation from a user to install. This could mean that MSN suddenly increases their search engine usage considerably. When seconds count to a surfer, and they will always dorepparttar 142833 quickest and easiest thing possible to get what they want, it is probably safe to predict a growing importance of being listed within MSN search results. This will obviously reflect not only in natural search engine results, but also PPC advertising.

My own opinion, (and it is only an opinion, not a fact or prediction) is that withrepparttar 142834 release of a pre-installed search bar in IE7, end users will changerepparttar 142835 manner in which they find what they need onrepparttar 142836 internet. After all, this is what MSN would like and are actively trying to promote. I thinkrepparttar 142837 search engine wars could be hotting up more so, and I think we may see some major changes with who isrepparttar 142838 top SE players when IE7 is released. Microsoft is obviously going to try to dorepparttar 142839 best they can to get active users, as any business would, and taking past knowledge of how Microsoft tend to dominate any particular area of PC/OS's, it is quite possible they will throw everything at it.

I think that this recent development from MSN isn’t something that internet based companies, should ignore. I'm not saying that we should all suddenly changerepparttar 142840 way we are doing things, but I think we should keep a closer eye on those server log files to see if this pre-release to IE makes any changes. Changes will be small if any to begin with, as most non-technical users probably won’t installrepparttar 142841 bar themselves. However, with its inclusion inrepparttar 142842 new version of IE, surely it must mean an impact to online businesses.
