My Autopilot Profits len is on Google first page for the search term “Autopilot Profits” yesterday. But the results did not last. It was removed after one day being at the top.

This Autopilot Profits len was set up to test the effectiveness of Squidoo len in marketing a product. Guess it was quite effective initially. But after Google removal of it, I guess it may not be such a good idea to marketing online with a Squidoo len.

The reason being so, there are lots of people who may just promote the same product as you. As a result, there are many duplicate lens having the same headlines and content. The worst part is that they may be using the same keywords as you. The rest is history.

As you have already know that Google dislikes duplicate content, these lens have violated SEO principles resulting in Google removal from its index. I guess many people still doesn’t know that by duplicating lens they see instead of voting for them, they have already defeat their purpose of creating a len since this does nothing good for everyone who is trying to promote the same product.

I guess the only solution to this problem is that everybody cooperates by creating unique headlines and content for their lens.

Google do refresh the lens that are added to the index everyday. I guess they are clearing out junkie lens which are added to the Squidoo every now and then. If the creation of junkie lens does not stop, Google may jolly well derank Squidoo and the SEO boost you get from a Squidoo len will be lost forever.

Really hope that everybody realise the consequences and stop duplicating lens. The time saved may be well used to create unique content. And do vote the len you really like.
