Over the last couple of days I`ve received 107 visitors to my website courtesy of Windows Live:

 http://www.live.com/

I find this interesting because I`ve never submitted my site`s URL to Windows Live. Another reason I find it interesting is because Windows Live is delivering 5 times as much traffic as I receive from MSN and nearly as much traffic as I receive from Yahoo in the same 48 hour time span.

Anyone else notice a surge of traffic from Windows Live?

One site that I manage, for August .....

Google	539
MSN	78
Google (Images)	78
Yahoo!	58
AOL	40
Windows Live	29

Not much from WL, but its a start. I also don`t submit to any of them myself; getting links from other sites already being crawled seems to be much faster than submitting.

- MSN Search	16	16
- Unknown search engines	11	11
- Google (cache)	7	133
- Ask	6	6
- Dogpile	5	5
- Earth Link	3	3
- Sphere (Blog)	3	3

- AltaVista	2	2
- Digg (Social Bookmark)	1	1
- del.icio.us (Social Bookmark)	1	1

For the record, I have never submitted to any of those sites.
