So is Squidoo back?

    I remember last year Squidoo was slapped by Google (penalized) and lost rankings right before I was going to join it, so I pretty much stayed away from squidoo. Did Google finally lifted the penalty off squidoo? Does squidoo now ranks in the serps like it used to?

    Squidoo is ranking well again now. After the Google slap, Squidoo took tough action against spammers by locking and deleting their lenses and accounts.

    Yeah I have found Squidoo are starting to get pretty decent rankings again. Yes at one stage they did get slapped but as Think_Big said Squidoo took some action and now they are getting good rankings.

    So I suggest that you sign up for Squidoo now and start driving some traffic to your website by writing articles!

    Exactly as Think Big says.

    They've pulled up their socks and are back in the game.

    Sometimes I think they should clear out more crap, but with around 500,000 pages that is no easy feat.

    Squidoo is still a good place to build up awareness and passive income :)

    Of course, nothing beats useful content..

    Hi, comparing Squidoo with the other CMS, I will go for EzineArticles. Squidoo is getting harder to rank nowadays. But it still continues to do well in Yahoo.

    While I still use Squidoo, my tracking reveals that most of my targeted traffic comes from EzineArticles.
