Squidoo Backlinks?

[siralexferguson]

Does a link from squidoo count as a backlink?

Are all links from squidoo a no follow?

I've checked a squidoo lens that was interlink with other lenses, but when I check the backlink for this particular squidoo lens it has no backlinks from squidoo lenses... And this lens have been indexed fro quite a while now and still no backlinks from other squidoo lenses...

Any one care to explain?

Thanks a bunch...

PS: I think i should make a more useful thread for my 100th post don't I?

Hmmm... on the squidoo lenses that I just looked at, website links on a lens are ******** but links to recommended books to ama zon are nofollow.

That kind of suggests that the website links should count, I would think?

How did you check for backlinks? with google or yahoo? Or some other site or tool

FINALLY!!!!

Someone replied! Thank you...

Made me think that no one cared about me for a while....

Anyway, I use this tool here:

I don't really understand it. I have got a few squidoo that interlinks and yet did not show up as backlinks... bummer...

Yes links from Squidoo count as backlinks, as long as your lens is not considered "work-in-progress".

But why did it not show up on the backlink checker?

You need to make sure the lens has 3 modules. If it doesn't it will not come out of Work in Progress (WIP) status. You can still view it but Squidoo have all the links set up as no-follow regardless of how they are coded.

All my squidoo is a featured lens...

All have more than 3 modules...

this plugin was recommended by someone else from BHW (in another thread).

Perhaps this tool might help you gain a little more information?

Of course, with this add-on, you'll need to use Firefox instead of IE as your browser
