SquidTop: Squidoo Blogging Heaven

Squidoo by itself is an incredibly powerful tool. So is blogging. But when combined together, the results are mindblowing. Squidoo and blogging just seem to go hand-in-hand; it’s as if the two were meant to always be together.

Captain Squid realized this and so he and I put our heads together and created SquidTop, a place where Squidoo lensmasters can create their very own SquidBlog and promote their latest lenses, and talk with other lensmasters about Squidoo. And they can all do it completely free. It’s pretty much Squidoo blogging heaven.

Additionally, SquidTop has some pretty nice features, like Adsense revenue sharing, Twitter integration, and much more. New features are being added all the time, too! To top it all off (no pun intended), SquidTop is based on the Wordpress blogging platform, so if you’ve used Wordpress before you’ll feel right at home.

What the best part about SquidTop though is that it is absolutely adored by the search engines. Google comes back to visit dozens of times each day, and new blog posts are indexed within hours. That’s hours. Not days or weeks, but hours. This is some pretty powerful stuff!

Several people, myself included, have experimented with this and have noticed that when blogged about on SquidTop, lenses get indexed really quickly. So if you’ve got some lenses that you’re having a tough time getting indexed in the search engines, blogging about them on SquidTop will jumpstart the process. Or, if you just want to give some of your lenses a boost higher in search engine rankings, SquidTop will help with that.
