I feel almost the same way about them as I did about Squidoo points and levels: they&#8217;re in-house metrics that have no bearing on my success as an online writer. From time to time, I&#8217;ll glance at my dash to see which of my articles Hubpages scores as the [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once again, spammers pooping in Squidoo&#8217;s sandbox have caused inconvenience for the rest of us. Squidoo has now followed Wikipedia&#8217;s example and nofollowed all outbound links. My opinion: it stings, but on the whole it&#8217;s a reasonable move. There are some drawbacks to nofollowing all outbound links. But those drawbacks are outweighed by the benefit: this [&#8230;]]]></description>

On social communities like Squidoo, flattery bots and drive-by flattery comments may be used to gain reciprocal visits, which can boost lensrank and payouts if done at scale.]]></description>

Remember how I noticed the murmurs about content farm penalties back in January 2011, and got scoffed at for suggesting Google was going to be unrolling domain-based rather than single-page-based penalties?

It also might help Google find your new content faster, since it will check your author profile (lensmaster profile) from time to time.

Also, it&#8217;s possible that search engines may take notice of how many different domains link to a page. We don&#8217;t know, but it&#8217;s no more foolish counting [&#8230;]]]></description>
