Improve Your Visibility on Search Engines with Squidoo
As many of you know I have been raving about Squidoo. Squidoo ranks very high in the Google search. Imagine what it can do if you can get a link back.
Well, Su, Wandering Gypsy, Indian Pundit, Binary Day, Kabeeranban, Renie, Quirky Mon, Reveda. Go and see http://www.squidoo.com/Blogroll-India I have put your blogs in there (without your permission ofcourse, but I am sure you won't mind). I am in the process of putting up a few more (Adarsh Rao comes to mind).
Note that I have not ranked any blog - it is in the order in which I filled it up. You may vote for your blog or others' blog.
But the rest of you - you also can put you blog there. Or your friends. As long as th eblog is by an Indian. And not only that. You can rate the blogs as per your liking.
Please let me know if you like the idea.
Please also note that this is not a replacement of Indiblogger. Indiblogger remains close to my heart.
Besides, you will notice that I have not put up my blog.
Reason: Updated text to attract attention
I am obsessed or am I obsessed?
I check up the ranking twice a day. And right now it stands at 2513. Isn't that great? Has anyone noticed any increase in traffic or ranking because of this? Itmay be too early, but please do let me know if you see some movement. Thanks.
Oh by the way, 24 blogs but only 3 people have rated the lens!
No it's 4 people! ..NOW! 
You're welcome!
ET you are at number 1, man! With 5 votes. Su, you are at No. 2 with 4 votes. Just FYI
Absolutely ET. It is just a page, but since it focuses on one and only one subject, it is called a lens.There you go Khushi!
Renie, If I were a girl, I would have told you: "You are a darling". 
And you got it bang on. It is an experiment. Frankly I am quite tired of seeing Indian bloggers languishing at the bottom of the heap. And I am hoping that this will make a difference. Let us see.
By the way, I get a lot of visitor through Indiblogger. Has anyone else observed this?
it's the individual pages made by a squidoo member, i guess! Am i right?
You are welcome Su. Need constant visitors to submit blogs. 4000+ bloggers and only 23 blogs 
Maybe making it sticky will help - this is an interesting experiment!
Accidents help!
Latest statistic. The lens ranks at 3612. Wow! If this is a beautiful dream, don't wake me up. What remains is to see how this affects everyones internet visibility.
Right now 21 of you have submitted their blogs.
Wow! such drastic improvements! congrats Amitabh! and thank you very much
I'll tell something! Actually I voted for Su in an accident when I was trying to figure out how the system works!
No probs though.. I would, anyways!
@One takes exam in teh stride, man! I bet you wouldn't have taken so many exams as I have . The trick is to give your bestshot and not bother about the result. Easier said than done. Not really. This is the only thing that will keep you sane.
Coming back to the subject at hand. The number of blogs listed have risen (20 when I last saw) but no one seems to be voting (for self and others). Come on folks! The idea is to raise the cream to the top.
This is becoming like a chat!!
I wish more bloggers would submit their blog and vote and 5*! Anyway time for me to sleep. Good night Su! Have a nice weekend.
The nice factor varies! I've an exam to study for, on Sunday!
the chat thingy is coming in handy. it is so much more interesting not to look for replies addressed to u in a rubble. 
@Su,
Your comment coincided with the 5* in my lens. I am assuming you are responsible for the *****. Thanks. Sure feel appreciated.
This is incredible. The lens rating has jumped from 27473 to 15302 in a day. That is really encouraging.
@Zeon, @Arjun, I will add your blog to this lens on my own. My debt (???) will then be competely repaid.
fantastic! i think its got everything to do with the activity on ur lens! congratulations!
Latest update!
Su is leading with 3 votes followed by Ek Sparsh (2 votes). That shows that bloggers are voting for others also. I always knew bloggers are good people.
Some more statistics ...
ClickoutsThese are the links on your lens that are getting clicked on.

PS: If you wish, you can also rate the lens (look for *'s at the header of the Squidoo lens when you go there).
Thnks!
Keep smiling!
Thank you ET! I like your Pseudonym! I wish I could think of that!
Cheers!
hi Amitabh, good work out there!
Now I've submitted my blog too to your list!
Just in - the lens has just been ranked 515 in SEO category and 27,473 overall (compared to an estimated 150,000 lens on Squidoo).
14 of you have listed your blogs.
Please note that you may vote for others also. You may also click on all the blogs there too.
I will keep you posted - After a month let's check out if there has been any difference in Google ranking of your blogs.
@Sandu - follow Khushi's example.
@Khushi - why didn't you vote (either for yourself or for others)
@rest - what are you chaps waiting for?
Hey Amitabh
Is registration necessary to submit the blog?

Hey Amitabh
I wud like to submit my blog to search engines as well. How exactly to do that.

I just realized that to add you blog to the blogroll you need tobecome a member of Squidoo. I am trying to work out a solution to by pass this need. Meanwhile, I recommend that whoever wants to add his/her blog and vote becomes a member. It is free anyway.
Just so that you know - I had typed in 9 blogs. There is already one more. And I can see 3 votes. So some of you have become a member to take advantage of Web 2.0.
Note that you can grab the list in the form of a widget and place in your blog and encourage your readers to vote. Meanwhile, all those who do not want to become a member but still want to add your blog to the list, please let me know. I will do it for you (though if there is a huge list it will take time).
Cheers!
