Using Squidoo Effectively

    Squidoo can be a very important marketing factor when used correctly.
    Many people build a Squidoo lens in the hope of earning additional money but it is much more effective to use a promotion of a website.

    I have used Squidoo with great success with my affiliate websites. By placing strategic links within the content, I have deep links and targeted visitors to my affiliate sites. I have been told that Google owns Squidoo, not sure if this is correct but it does seem powerful.

    To build a good lens is quite easy just write what you are happy with. Use Youtube video and plenty of widgets. Keep adding content to your lens to keep it high in the rankings. Take time to like and comment on other lenses, they often return the compliment.

    Using good keywords related to your niche and use plenty of them. Use your keyword strategically within your content. Keep building lenses on a regular basis and when you have enough link them together.
    Try to use the social network buttons, Facebook, Twitter and especially Google Plus.
    Hope this helps.

    Squidoo Lenses are great to build links from, it's just that it's getting more and more difficult with marketers to put up lenses. Squidoo's more strict with their rules now, and would only accept original articles.

    Squidoo may be more of a challenge for marketers than it used to be, but their strict rules make their website a good place to submit our content.

    I am trying to create Squidoo lens with unique content. But when I tried to publish, it is always showing "low quality". I added youtube video, Images in the post, Amazon module, Recommended link list which related to content. But it is not getting published. What to do?

    Yes. I also personally use squidoo for linking purposes. Not for gaining top 10 position. Th good thing about squidoonis we can set up several RSS feeds to automatically update the content, so it's set up and forget method.

    Personally I have not used squidoo yet. I think what you are saying makes sense.

    The idea is to get involved with the community that hangs around there, and try to be
    helpful in whatever we can.

    Thanks for the information.

    All the best.

    For success with Squidoo, create a lens with a good URL and fill it with quality, original content, then link it to your website.

    The key really is to build a meaningful relationship with the squidoo community.

    It pays a long way, and you're content will go viral.

    People like to deal with real people, not just heartless blogs lol.


    To Your Success,

    Marc
