Squidoo-where'd my traffic go?

BillyPilgrim · 04-03-2009, 12:07 PM

Or rather the complete lack of either. In the past few days my lens stats went from about 500 hits per week to absolute zero. I don't know if it is an anomaly or what, but sales have stopped as well.

maybe it dropped rank in Google?

Welcome to the forum. I am not an expert but I think you should try updating your lens more often as I believe the high your ranking the more the traffic.

You can also try to submit your lens to some social bookmark sites and RSS. Hope that helps

I think it's a Squidoo tracking issue. This has happened in the past. And, you're not the only one this happened to. I've got around 37 lenses, all getting a steady flow of traffic, then I logged in today and noticed every lens had "0" visitors.

Probably just a small fluke.

Why not contact Squidoo, maybe they know if it was an error on their part. Is there a way to track your lens through more than one program? That might help if you have a few reference points, to know if the traffic really went down or if it was a false alarm.

Maybe you need some new content. If you don't update as miuch you will lose page rank on google.

Well, it's not a ranking issue. Most of my traffic comes from Yahoo where I am still #1 out of 35.900.000. The trouble is that not only are stats skewed but no sales as well.
