Julie, I think that duplicate content stuff is ridiculous, a joke if you will. The reason is, you want others to spread your message how can that happen if they don’t quote you? Google wants a few word changes, which is plagarism instead? Why call it a web if google isn’t going to treat it like a web? It makes no sense.

Google could check the publish date of the content to see if yours was first, first becoming the original for pagerank purposes. I think any other system is just plain arbitrary.

The only thing I don’t know is if there is enough computer power in the world to keep that sort of record, lol.

Hey Captain, Another bullseye. I hadn’t thought about Squidoo ranking, just Google. It gives us an easier target to aim for and that is always good!

Captain — thanks for the tip! Great to have such a handy little tool from thefluffanutta on squidutils.com. Are there recommendations for more appropriate keywords to use too?

I would like a tool to tell about duplicate content issues; i.e., your lens might have had a decent PR and then it loses it when a website posts your content from your lens. I had that happen on one of my high-ranking lenses; I contacted the website administrator who removed it.

Great point. It surprises me sometimes the lenses that get good traffic. Frequently it is to a keyword I hadn’t emphasized intentionally when I wrote the lens. As I re-write to use that word or phrase more directly – ratings and traffic both increase.

What an EXCELLENT point. I just did a few searches and sure enough, the lenses I have that are getting traffic are coming up #1 in the squidutils search. The lenses I’m not getting much traffic for are no where to be found.

Excellent point. I have never really gone after lensrank, but if you aren’t coming up in a search of Squidoo then it would be odd if you came up in Google.

Thanks for another tool to use to get my lenses ranking!
