Hi Jennifer,
I just found your site through Karls mail out for Lens of the day and I am definitely glad I decided to take a look, your seo stuff is brilliant and it actually makes sense to me (which makes a change from some of the stuff I read) now all I have to do is find the time to go through all of your old posts and try to put it into practice, thanks for the info.
Steven.

This is a spam comment (the top comment here) “I found your site on technorati and read a few of your other posts. Keep up the good work. I just added your RSS feed to my Google News Reader. Looking forward to reading more from you. Chris Moran” He got me with this too.

@ Ian – I believe effective SEO starts ON page. Yes, off-page optimization is very important and that would be the steps I would direct Jackie after we got her lens straightened out. Jackies lens had a unique seo situation – Google had it in the index, however it was not coming up in searches for related keywords. Building off-page links was not going to fix the underlying issues. However, once the under-lying issues were correct (on-page), I would highly recommend going OFF page to boost search engine rankings and exposure in the SERPs.

Link building definitely helps web pages, but to me, it sure doesn’t FIX anything.

@ Pat

If your lens is new (ie, less than a week old), just be patient… Google will find it. However, if your lens still has not been indexed in a week, you’re gonna have to get out there and help Google find it. Make some links from other Squidoo lenses you have, from your blog, social book mark it, and/or do some article marketing with links from the author resource box. Sometimes, a simple “Digg” is enough to lead Google to your conent =)

Thanks for reading!

What do you do if your lens is not not indexed on Google?

Cloth Diaper Resource

Wow ~ that was quick. I am learning so much already. A little background. This lens started as a place for me to store all the info when I was researching cloth diapering for our family. It was only later after I learned about making money from Squidoo that I tried to monetize it. I researched “cloth diaper” and thought it would be a a little tough, so I changed the title to cloth diaper resource thinking it might be a little easier to rank for.

I can’t wait to see the final review. I think this is going to help me with a few of my lenses.

Thank you!!

Why don’t you simply have Jackie work on OFF page optimization factors…rather than worrying so much about the squidoo page tags themselves? Maybe simply submitting a few articles, and using her primary phrase in the anchor text, posting on a few blogs that “do follow” and a forum post or two… ( how about some link bait pictures on funny/entertaining/goofy diapers, etc) all should work quite well for getting some “love” for this type of lens.

Good luck!
