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.

Okay so my Elmo site is live but I’m tweaking little things as I get through his course, like my Meta tags, tiny little SEO things I had forgotten. Still need to do that.

Last night had two more sales of Elmo Live plus many more sales of other stuff - maybe add-ons maybe unique buyers.

I set up my Elmo Live Squidoo lens to compete with my domain, too. I did have 1 clickout in my 17 visitors go through my text link to Amazon, so they may have purchased.

The bad thing is I won’t know which site - domain or lens - gave me the sale. But I’m assuming both sets of visitors will be targeted, so what I’m going to judge by is the traffic volume and SERP ratings (as well as PageRank) that they get as a comparison.

Right now I’m having a ghostwriter do the content for my parent and other 3 baby sites. I am too busy to do it or I would myself. I also told her once she finishes, take the exact content she did and rewrite it all for Squidoo. So I’ll get two sets.

Now my Squidoo LENS has a disadvantage - my dot info domain has several depth pages pointing to the index page. But my lens just has the one page. To make up for that, I linked to it from my Top Toddler Toys lens. I put it in the Explore More section.

I also submitted 2-3 articles on EZA for my elmolivesesame site and I’ll do the same for my lens now.
