Hi, Anybody wants to rank well in SERP? Yes of course, all of us. But the question is how? Base in my past experience, i write article for my website and post each of them in Squidoo & Hubpage. Both this 2 website are dofollow and it really helps improve your ranking in google. Try it! Thanks
There are so many ways to get ranked and I do have my secrets, I feel it takes a combination of techinques to become huge on google. And what you're suggesting is good, but just for starters. Solid keywords,solid content,great subject matter,backlinks, sneaky tricks the bring in 1000's of back links a week are all part of the game. But there's still much more and many of us webmasters don't share those secrets.
Google is learning of these backdoor methods consisting of forum and blog posts, articles and more. If you haven't already noticed, they are devaluing every article submission and author box link. Unless content is unique and of high quality they will be placed out in the supplemental index or not even placed in the index. Many blogs are now finding that their Pagerank has dropped by a point or two and many of their pages that used to have a pr 2 or greater now sport either a lower pr or none (grey pr box). This is because Google has found more than one similar page with the same majority of content and keywords and has determined that some will rank and others with lower trust values will sink or be removed. Using social sites, linking schemes, and any other grey or black hat techniques will eventually get your trust value dropped. Now more than ever trust value is the #1 biggest component of determining rank. If you lose that it is very hard, if not impossible, to get it back (depending on what kind of violation caused the drop). Google uses penalties only in the most extreme cases, else they just drop your trust ranking (which can be just as bad or even worse than a penalty).
some of my articles on ezone have been devalued in the last week and the backlinks have vanished from the google index
yes, squidoo and hubpages help a lot since the articles you will post there will be unique and directly related to your niche. besides, both squidoo lens and hubpages rank well and get their own PR over time which is an added benefit
I personally find hubpages to be great for internet marketing but I have been there a while and seem to get good rankings farily quickly these days. Do NOT post content that is duplicate with your own site on hubpages or elsewhere. Posting duplicate content on other sites is just OK but I agree with the above that google is starting to discount. I prefer to use a service which posts my articles to other people's blogs; link below
I'm having a hard time to rank well with Squidoo pages in a highly competitive environment. However Squidoo lenses might drive some traffic for lower competition keywords and phrases. The links are not the highest quality (HubPages are even NoFollow) but better than nothing obviously.
Your post makes perfect sense blogdude, and I would have expected Google to take action on this a couple of years ago. But they didn't. I mean why should some crappy site show up on the first page of Google because: I have a link in my sig in an unrelated forum, I have a meaningless entry in facebook, twitter, squidoo, and blog pointing to my site, I have a crappy 350 word article published on ezinearitcles etc etc... Anyway, my question is basically, is your post just your observation or is it something you read from Google? I've been doing a little research into Google and have not come across that yet, even in their blog. Again, I agree with it and have a feeling that this will eventually be the way it is, but haven't seen anything from Google regarding this.. Zeek
Hey, Hubpages and Squidoo both are good but hubpages is more strict than squidoo. In hubpages, We need some extra efforts to make links dofollow.
hubpages are dofollow if you have your personal hubscore at 75+ if you check my hub, u will see its dofollow http://hubpages.com/hub/Social-Bookmarking-Submission-Service
I would go with blogdude and zeekstern. I don't understand how the concept of having one way links crept in. And is that internet by any chance? Give as much as you take, be democratic and don't have any assumptions that giving links must be to those that gave you. Be liberal with your outbound links if they offer value to your readers. Strengthen the idea that "good things get noticed quickly" and thereby help good things get noticed on the web and on Google as well. Forget what Google did till date and what it is doing now. Concentrate on your work, if Google is a real search engine in its true meaning, it will some how pick you up.
not sure about blogdude issue, first time that I have heard may be google changes its algorithm again. Well, but I found every time I write something on hubpages, google index it very fast. in my opinion it actually faster than squidoo may be in 24 hours......
Hi, I don't think links available on a Hubpage are dofollow. I think they are nofollow HTML: I understand you J, you said that hubpage is nofollow. Why dont you try to sign up in hubpage and post original content. You will see after a days you link will alter to dofollow link, believe me. Squidoo & Hubpage are great. Thanks

Hubpage, ezines, etc... it doesn't matter - your links will eventually be devalued and so on. You need to post original content on your own website. Not on others websites.
Exactly hubpages will give you dofollow links from your hub if a) the score is over 75 and b) you have no more than 2 links to the same domain (not page DOMAIN) and c) the cnntenet is original and d) the ads are turned on I have a profile which is PR4 and hubs which are PR3 - hubpages seem to get more love from G - probably because they have content standards unlike squidoo
Hey thats new for me. Well, I have not put more than two links to the same domain on my hubs. thanks buddy...
