Things aren't looking good for the Ed Dale Mankini Squidoo lens.
Seems it has been totally wiped from the Google cache and one can only wonder why?We know that Squidoo itself will rank for the term because http://www.squidoo.com/groups/Thirtydaychallenge comes up in the broad search for Ed Dale Mankini.
Other platforms that are ranking are
FriendFeed - definite MUST HAVE for getting your name/site/product out there
.wordpress.com blog - they are doing well for only a few mentions of the search term and a few links.
Digg - definitely a traffic generator if you have something worthwhile to say or share
StumbleUpon - same as above
I think one of the clues may be in this..... this blog has NO outgoing links in any posts. None. Zero. Nada. Not by design by the way... somehow I have managed to break them (probably by trying to force them to open in a new page). So to Google this blog looks like a bunch of information with a heap of links pointing to it. This site is the pointy bit at the bottom of a funnel. People are giving the site authority by linking to it ....interesting hey?
Whereas from memory the squidoo page had a gazillion links via feeds. I could be totally wrong, but maybe Google sees that many links as just a bot type content scraper (or similar?).
What I found MOST suprising in the stats... the STUMBLE traffic looked at the most pages after landing on average !

That wordpress blog is still holding at 9 & 10 for broad and exact match - after the "carpet-bomb" approach on the 25th. I don't know what that means...maybe I just got lucky...I suppose I should do just one more post - to link here :) |
