[...] as of today, no one responded. Unfortunately some will go elsewhere. Take the post from Stuart at earnersblog.com who said that he had a notable decrease on his Squidoo ranking. He states, “Iâ€™ve seen about [...]

Good for Google and Squidoo too. Boy I’d lke to be the person that figures out how to eliminate the various forms of spam. But at the least pc users should practice safe computing, by adding the usual(firewall, spyware removal software, anti-virus).

Oondi? You are jesting surely? One of the very few articles I looked at was a pure ripoff from WikiPedia and another article had over 60 pages of comment spam (I got bored after 60) Nice try though.

An important point to make is that with the black hatters infesting Squidoo, there was ALSO a plethora of ‘jump sites’ at the same time, so that many keyword stuffed off-site pages misdirected traffic meant for Squidoo with camoflaged adsense ads. As visitors click on those camo ’squidoo links’ the click makes money for the site owner and visitors never get anywhere near Squidoo. These are also done with every conceivable misspelling of Squidoo a searcher may use, with every keyword set that seems to draw traffic to Squidoo. THOSE are the ones showing on Google search. It is hideous, it is thievery, and Google is permitting it.

Yes, this happened to one of my sites in March. From one day to the next, traffic was cut in half. I don’t know why it happened either. Mine is slowly coming back too, but it has a long ways to go.

Most lenses DO provide very relevant content. It’s only maybe 10-20% lenses which were crap but Squidoo has already taken care of them and IMO Google totally overreacted with its filtering, to me it seems more like to demonstrate who the power has and nothing else.

From so many Squidoo lenses I visited and I myself do own a bunch I maybe came across 3-5 lenses which seemed spammy. There is no reason to whip all others likewise. And I’d say it’s more like 60-70% lenses were hit directly.

It was only a matter of time. At the end of the day G has to provide relevant results otherwise it will lose its searchers.
