Squidoo Ranking Question

[A Bary]

Hello

I ve just created a lens on Squidoo yesterday morning, andI built some links to it, waiting for it to be indexed.

I checked today using site:www.domain.com command, the search returned only one result with a link to the main page of Squidoo, which appered to me as that the lens hasn't been indexed yet..

But what concerned me was the url in the search result, it was :

http://www.squidoo.com/mylenstitle%20rel='external%20nofollow

the highlighted section is what concerned me..
is this normal, or it means that a "no follow attribute" has been placed on my lens?

Any experience regarding this?

That link you posted looks like a duff link, cos someone forgot some quote characters when linking to your lens. Double check all the links you've created...

You don't need to worry about it though - worst case scenario: this link is pointing to the wrong place, and would count to your lens. It does not mean you've been penalised by Google.

Have you got a green tick next to your lens in the workshop? If not, then it'll be considered Work In Progress and not featured within Squidoo. This won't affect your ranking in the search engines, but it can take longer to be indexed.

Toss it in your sig file here. It will get indexed quick.
You proved or disproved your own concern about no follow.
The site even with no follow came up.
