Squidoo

Ok I have a Squidoo lense started, but can some one tell me what benefit this will have to my website. I am not interested in PR but better serps, will this lense help me.

 

Every link will help you, just stay focused of targeted links, content related.

 

So do I use it like a blog?

 

Squidoo will not only improve your page rank but will give you traffic.

 

Gavoz is right.
Squidoo is really good in getting backlinks and more traffic.
I have many feed links in Squidoo and got many clicks from them.

 

Yes, Squidoo is extremely useful in getting traffic... however is also good for the links you can place there to your site....feel free to ask any questions as I use squidoo extensively

 

Hi livesol

This is my lense http://www.squidoo.com/mortgage-advisors can you have a quick look and give me a few pointers please.

 

Try these:

Fix the spelling errors in the introduction.

Change the default module headings to something meaningful of your own.

Add a LensMaster bio and image.

Turn off the Discovery feature via the introduction module to avoid traffic leaks.

Turn on the Contact me feature via your Squidoo profile.

 

There's very little content on there, try writing some content that can engage a reader, rather than trying to sell stuff.

Have a look at one of my lenses - http://www.squidoo.com/annick-goutal - see how much unique text is on there? Get more of that on.

Furthremore, contribute to the community, find similar lenses and share links!

Incidentally, I keep on the Discovery feature. It's a great way of finding lenses to network with. Furthermore, you can put at least 3 of your current lenses in there!

 

i suggest to focus on high quality back links

 

Thanks for the tips spelling is not my strong point

Cheers livesol this will keep me occupied

I was not looking for back links, but how to set my page up before linkbuilding.

thanks everyone

 

squidoo will give you just traffice, the links are no follow.

 

Prove it. I'll show you my Squidoo lenses, with all do follow links.

There are nofollow links, but there for things like the twitter module or the flickr module, which are obvious (google juice isn't that important for them), but for just content rich HTML links, they are dofollow links.

 

i just verified, they are do follow links. thanks livesol for the update. time to create more lenses on squidoo.

 

Thanks I noticed that all my links are no follow

 

Can you guys give me pointers on mine too please

Maybe rate it if you have time too!

Harout, I haven't visited your lens (I am a minister), but in general Squidoo acts as a traffic funnel that gives search engine visitors (or those who have clicked through a link) enough information to decide what to do next, whether it be to visit another site, watch a video, purchase a product, etc.

If you bookmark and promote your lenses and the lenses do what they are designed to do, you will funnel traffic to your sites or make affiliate sales, depending on how the lenses are set up.

When you're REALLY good, you can do both ;-)

 

The links are only no follow if your lens is in WIP (Work in Progess) mode.

Newly published lenses stay in WIP mode until there is a LensRank update (which usually happens every 24 hours).

Lenses that have less than 3 modules (not including the introduction and guestbook modules) stay in WIP mode until more modules are added by the LensMaster.

 

With well chosen tags, the Discovery Tool can attract a dozen or so links to your lens from other related lenses. This will give your own lens a boost in PageRank and relevance.

Joining relevant groups will also help.

 

Add links add content.

I wouldn't put too much time into a squidoo lense. Why build backlinks for your lense when you can build backlinks for your site? I never really understood that.
