Advanced Squidoo Question

[danielblinman]

Hi, I am looking for someone with a lot of experience with building links to your money site using Squidoo. I have a ton of squidoo lenses set up, i recently created back linking reports for a number of squidoos to see if the squidoo was appearing as a link.

They were not.

Only one out of my 53 lenses is appearing. Tons of them are already featured lenses ( Not work in progress) What does it take to get a squidoo to become an active link in a link profile? Thanks guys

I don't mean to go off topic, but squidoo and article directories took a big hit with the latest google updates to penguin. The return you would get from squidoo inbound links, if any, would be very minimal and most likely not worth all the effort that was put into it.

Instead of squidoo, why not concentrate on guest blogging or spreading those squidoo articles out across many other social media sites to build a rich social environment that relates to your site as opposed to one social site?

Hi Anthony, Guest blogging is a part of our SEO strategy as well.

How did you discover that squidoo and article directories took a big hit?

I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere that the effectiveness has reduced since penguin.
