"Squidy-Doo, Where Are You?"

I seem to have lost my dog (he answers to 'Squidoo'). I call, I leave Squidy snacks in all the usual places, but he still won't come...

But seriously, does anyone know why the bottom has fallen out of Squidoo's Google ranking power? There used to be a lens on page 1 for virtually any search I did. Now the top lens is lucky to make its way onto page 5. Just did a search for a keyword with only 8,500 (phrase-match) competing sites, and the first Squid sighting was on page 7 (and the stuff on page 1 was nothin' to write home about). Is this a slap, or is the Google Coroner involved?

    Yeah...you are soooo right. I just wrote about this not too long ago. The bottom has fell out of Squidoo because Google has slapped them with a penalty for duplicate, "spammy" content. I guess another alternative would be hubpages. I hope the same thing doesn't happen to them. They do take longer to index your pages though...I think they take 1-2 days to index your page and count your links. This has to do with all the spamming. Spammers mess it up for EVERYBODY!
