My squidoo lens usually get indexed within 3 days but now I have see that it is taking quite a long time to get indexed. One of my squidoo lens is not getting indexed even with backlinks and pinging. The content is completely fresh and unique. Is google again start hating squidoo?

    You could index it by adding the link of your squidoo to digg, reddit and youtube. Make sure you dont spam it, wait for spiders to crawl and you will have your squidoo indexed for sure in a less time. If not, give me the squidoo link and I will get it indexed as quick as possible.

    I have been also experiencing the delay in indexing of new squidoo lens by Google. It is now taking somewhere around 7-8 days to index. I think you must continue getting backlinks to your lens.

    You could try doing a ping - Blog Ping for Squidoo Lenses (no promises though).

      Yeah I see the same thing. Mine used to get indexed within
      hours. I have quite a few high ranked ones. Our latest one,
      Crystal Bowersox (shameless plug)
      has been out and growing for about 2 weeks. Still not
      indexed. We snatched this lens name up and could not
      believe it was not taken yet. This one has the potential, as
      that name will be big if Crystal keeps knocking them dead on
      AI. This is the way we've always done it. Chosen a popular
      search term. But this one is dang frustrating. Funny thing,
      our lens on lauren conrad is loved by google. Gets massive
      traffic from google, zip as far as backlinks. It's getting hard
      to duplicate that.

      If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.

        I have 7 lenses, most of them are about one month old. Only one got indexed and it's not even in the top 1000 results for my keyword(!)
        Something very wrong is happening to the Squidoo website.

    My latest lens was indexed within a few hours. All I did was bookmark it on a couple sites, and pinged it once.

    Great timing for this thread. I have waited three days for my squidoo site to be updated, I have pinged it and added it to RSS feeds using RSS Bot. I even used mTurk to get people to go on and rank it for me and my new site is ranked #203 in the business category and still no index love.

    I just added it to my signature pages here as these threads get hit by the bots quite a bit.

    Well, this page ranks when I search Google using the URL of my squidoo lens, but still no love for the actual lens.

    Yes, after several days' test, I have also found the delay in indexing of squidoo lens by Google. Perhaps Google begins to hate Squidoo again.
    For example, about 2 days ago, I published a len about niche marketing strategy, but until now, it hasn't been indexed by Google. I am still waiting for the change.
