My First Squidoo Success

You know something, there might be something to this "Google Loves Squidoo" thing. I made my third lens recently based on a three word keyword phrase that has around 25 searches a month. There are approximately 2,700 results for the quoted phrase.

Well, surprise surprise, my dinky little lens is listed at number 20 (34 for the unquoted phrase) less than 24 hours after I created it. My previous two lenses are still unlisted and to be honest, prior to this lens I was starting to doubt the power of the squid.

Even with the minimal competition 20th place isn’t that great, but remember this is without any promotion or external backlinks.

I created a Squidoo group at the same time as the lens and the results were even better. The group was the first listed page of 757 on Squidoo for the far more competitive two keyword phrase (1,180,000 results listed on Google).

I need to do some analysis to see what the differences between this lens and the previous ones are.
