Getting your Squidoo lenses and blog posts to index on Google quickly is always a dilemma, because we don't always know what Google uses for criteria when they send out their search engine spiders to crawl our posts.
I have noticed lately that now that I am doing more careful research of my keywords for titles and focus in my lenses, my google lenses show up within about 24 hours of being published. And that is pretty darn good, since they can't get Google traffic until the lenses are indexed on Google. My blog posts also get indexed within a day but I have been consistently posting on this blog for well over a year now.
So my advice to you as writers and Squidoo lensmasters would be to carefully research your keywords for your lens. Use the keywords in your title and in your introduction sprinkle them throughout the lens. If your keywords are able to fill a hole in Google's search engine, then your lens will get indexed more quickly.
Researching your keywords is something that you should be doing before you publish any lens, anyway. Find a grouping of words that is being searched and not being written about on your topic, then use it in your lens. That way, you will be writing to a targeted audience who is looking for information on your topic.

These are things I've been following, and I've had Lenses that start to get more traffic from Google than from my Squidoo friends within days of being published.
It's not that I don't appreciate my fellow Lensmasters stopping by, they rate me and leave valuable feedback, but unless I'm making a Lens about Squidoo tips, I want natural traffic from the search engines to be a major portion of my visitors.
