IPK Versus Squidoo Lens Update 11/19/08
November 19th, 2008 | 
Author: Okay so in keeping up with my testing, I created the Elmo Live lens to compete with my Elmo Live dot info domain that I created by following Info Product Killer. It took about 24-48 hours for the website to get indexed. I’m getting GREAT traffic for one of the dolls in particular - have top spot for that. I don’t want to tell which one, of course.
I loved how he taught us to create depth pages with other keywords. For example, on his Bumblebee Transformers page, he had a page bolding the keywords “cheap,” “yellow,” “robotic,” etc. I did that and that’s how I’ve captured top spot for another Elmo doll.
My Squidoo lens took FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRR to get indexed, which is very unusual! I linked to it from other highly indexed lenses, and from EZA, etc., but it sat stagnant until yesterday! That was very annoying.
Just started seeing search engine traffic to it today. Whew! Just in time for Christmas 
So we’ll see how it goes. I’m still selling some Elmo dolls via Amazon. I will admit this year is MUCH slower than last year (hello, rotten economy!). Last year from October 1st on I was making great money, and even on established pages, it’s slow. But maybe it’ll pick up close to Christmas. I know I’m shopping late this year myself.
I’ll keep ya updated! You let me know too how YOUR Squidoo versus domain journey is going. I’m gonna put up some other lenses today that compete with my other dot info domains for the IPK strategy.

I posted a comment on your previous post about IPK. I cannot make out what is going on between Google and Squidoo lenses as I too have been having the same long drawn out indexing problem, which never used to be.
I have put up four lenses using IPK strategies and only this past few days have they been indexed by Google. I am following the ‘year round’ strategy rather than doing the Christmas thing but the same principles apply. Need a few more days to see if this will work with Squidoo, but I think that the websites will win somehow, mainly because of the URL’s.
Still, time will tell and I will drop you a comment and let you know.

Hi Tiff,
Just checking in regarding your IPK + Squidoo case study. How did
it go during the Christmas holidays.
Did you make out in a big way?

Hi Sunshine!
For the ones I really went after I did well (Elmo). lol But I was SO swamped with projects that I took too long getting other pages up and STILL have tons of content left to get up. But I’m still seeing after Christmas traffic so I’m not even done yet. I think if I’d had total concentration with this, I would have made bank with it but I just didn’t have time by the time I found out about it.
Still, Elmo did well for me!
