But recently, I noticed that now it takes no more than 3 days to get the lenses indexed in major search engines. Squidoo is getting back to its value and authority among webmasters and users. Of course, Google will not come to these pages and crawl by themselves. If you do the following, you can get full value of your lenses -

a) Get at least 600 words unique content on your lens and make sure it gives great value to the readers.

b) make good use of images with alt-tagging options.

c) Use anchor texts for backlinks and try to link some keyword with sites like wikipedia and other highend portals.

d) Submit to various squidoo lens directories so they get some backlinks.

e) Bookmark the lens to top bookmarking sites like digg, reddit, propeller etc.

f) Associate with popular squidoo groups and your lens there.

g) Share your lens with other squidoo members and on forums without spamming them. Be a quality contributor.

Thes steps will definitely help you get some strong backlinks out of your squidoo lens creation efforts.
