SEO Quake ~ A Useful Tool for Keyword Research

There was a piece of the puzzle I was missing in my keyword research method. I was finding daily search totals, overall competing pages, but what I was not checking was how difficult it would be to beat the top pages already showing for my keywords.

Does Google Still Love Squidoo?

Someone recently asked me "does google still love squidoo?"  It's a good question.  I think by now everyone's heard of the "google slap". Where google got a wee bit irritated by the amount of spam lenses being made on squidoo and cracked down on the number of squidoo lenses they would show in their search engine results.
