Squidoo Ain’t That Good Anymore

Squidoo Lens Rankings DropIf you’re always in tune with what’s new then you might already know that Squidoo lenses rank well in the search engines, well at least it used to be that way. I’m new to Squidoo and I only have a handful of lenses but honestly, I don’t see any of them ranking well in the SERPs. On the contrary, I see my non-squidoo sites optimized for the same keyword ranking better. Some even getting to number one.

So, what’s wrong with Squidoo? Here’s what I think has happened - Lots of spammers jump into Squidoo and starting filling it with spam. Google might have noticed it and probably decided to reconsider the ranking of Squidoo pages. Apparently, it’s just not me who has observed this. Another article called “Squidoo Rankings Drop” also posted about it and a few others.

I wonder if Squidoo will remain to be of value to search engine ranking.
