I don’t know about anyone else, but since the change in the Google site ranking algorithm several months ago, it seems that traffic to some of my lenses hasn’t dropped, in fact it’s increased, and 90 percent of that traffic is coming from Google.
One lens that has really seen a difference is My Pet Peeves, which is now seeing more than 200 visits a day, and on some days over 300 visits.
By comparison, Bing and Yahoo barely generate a single visit to this lens per day, and yet Google really does seem to like Squidoo.
This is really good news for Squidoo lensmasters, since Google is still the best and most used search engine of them all, and if your lens is listed well on Google, it means far more than the ranking in all the other search engines put together.
So make sure your lenses are optimized for Google, keep Squidoo spam free and also keep your lenses high quality, and reap the benefits.
It’s strange I must admit, none of my lenses get more than 1 or 2 visits from Bing or Yahoo in a week. They never have done. It’s always been Google that has been a significant factor in success or failure of my lenses.
My stats has increased as well after this change. But still can’t understand why we are not getting any traffic from other search engines? =)
I’m having the opposite affect. I was doing better now suddenly traffic is low, even on lenses that used to get 100 to 200 visits…
