    Does it mean one should add links a few days later he creates a lens?

    You can include the link when you make the lens and it turns from nofollow to dofollow after a couple days.

    Unfortunately for me, Squidoo loads so slowly on Firefox on my computer that it frequently times out. Every time I think about creating a site, it takes so long to get the website up that I invariably give up on it before I get through the process of picking a name.

    I checked all the Squidoo lens that I have and each one comes up as do follow. If the lens gets Pr, then it can also show up a back link in Google. A few of mine do now.

    i guarantee you that squidoo is really a dofollow web 2.0 sites. They are both the same of Hubpages.com but in hubpage you have to earn score in order for you to get dofollow link.

    It's dofollow & love by search engines. Check some keywords with Google, Y! & MSN & you will find some good Squidoo pages listed with.

    most probably, get the lens work and it should be a dofollow! squidoo lenses are dofollow by dafault!

    Definitely, "DoFollow", but don't waste your time getting backlinks from multiple lenses, you will only get link juice from 1 Squidoo link... google doesn't care about multiple links coming from the same domain

    Squidoo does not use the "nofollow" tag, which I am assuming is
    what people are talking about when saying dofollow.

    But there is a couple of things you should know.

    Squidoo has limited the number of links on a lens to the same domain
    to 9 (last time I checked). If you have more than 9, you will be flagged
    and suspended. So, keep the links to the same domain to 9 or less.

    This does not included links from your blog feed. You can have as many
    as you want in your blog feed to show up. Use that to your advantage.

    Also twitter. You can pull in your twitter feed and all links are fair game.

    But, you will not get backlinks via blog and twitter feeds as these are
    javascripts.

    I use squidoo a lot and it is great for linking things together. In fact, I
    have a lens ranked #1 with only a few backlinks from squidoo.

    Squidoo is a powerhouse. The more you use it, and make good lenses,
    the more squidoo will like you. I am highly ranked, so when I make a new
    lens, it normally gets indexed in an hour. I even had a Lens of the Day.

    Squidoo is a terrific site. I would rather make a lens than make 1,000 blog
    comments. Much more google juice. They love squidoo.

    Now the comments that you make on people's lenses are "nofollow."

    And the best thing about squidoo, is that they pay you. I had a nice little
    sum last month.

    Backlinks and money. Squidoo cannot be beat for simplicity.

    Please don't take offence, but your statement suggests that 1 squidoo link is the equivalent of 1000 various blog links :confused:... I Don't Think So... Not even Close!

    They uh, put some kind of redirect on their external links. It seems to search for an affiliate link "if available" but claims to be a normal juice-carrying link otherwise.

    Call me skeptical... I've recently noticed some adverse ranking effects for sites linked to from Squidoo.

    I just checked one of my lenses, and found out that the url link from the image in the lense is nofollow, but any links from my twitter posts (displayed on squidoo) are nofollow.

    I prefer hubpages to squidoo, in part due to its internal linking structure. It's possible to have a hub that's PR1-3 without any external backlinks because of that. You can get literally thousands of internal ones if you use your tags right and create quality content. Hubpages is actually one of the few places where quality directly matters, imo (and it makes a huge difference.)

    Anyway, all Squidoo stuff is dofollow as long as you have more than three modules, I think.

    Links from modules like twitter and your blog feed are nofollow.
    If you add an image via the image thing in your module, and put a
    link with it, yes, it is nofollow.

    But put your own image and url using html in a module and it will
    remain without the "nofollow" tag.

    I've been using squidoo for a long time now and it rocks.

    I hear a lot about hubpages, but since I am into squidoo, I
    am sticking with that. I hear a lot of good stuff about hubpages
    and may at one point give it a shot.

    One thing people have got to realize, is that google loves squidoo.
    I have many lenses that rank in the top.

    I just haven't had the same luck with Squidoo. I'm not sure why, but I think it has to do with Squidoo having a lot more lenses, which means you're more likely to have direct competition for the keyword.

    Either way, I don't want to veer this thread off-topic with a hubpages vs squidoo debate. They're both do-follow and a great way to build up backlinks (especially if you use them together.)

    Its not a rocket science to tell that squidoo is a dofollow site but what I wonder about is, they are using some kind of redirects on outbound links which may stop passing any link juice or pagerank to them...kindly let me know about what it is, if you guys know. (check source code to find the outbound link on squidoo lens) It somewhat looks like this,

    <a href="http://go.squidoo.com/?id=1120X507259&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.domain.com%2F" target="_blank">anchor text</a>
