Hi Ive recently been creating lenses on squidoo, thats not what im getting stuck on , but like alot of epople im struggling getting traffic... could any one reccomned me something to help me get traffic to my squiddo lense www.squidoo.com/TrueWowGuideReviews as you can see its a tidy looking lense but i just cant get traffic to it, ive linked it to other pages and commented on other page but only get like 1 view a day if im lucky!
Niche Research + Yahoo answers + Article Marketing + Youtube + Forum marketing Etc.. Hope this helps.
yea! go with TJ! do lots of marketing. create backlinks with hubs, ezine and other web2.0. do some forum posting, digg, social submit! add to various squidoo groups, interact with other members so they can review it.
do some keyword research and digg down and look at what people are actually searching for then create a list of keywords to drive traffic to your lens. Drive traffic by signing up at socialmarker.com takes a while to sign up to everything but believe me it will be worth it.
Here's a thought, start dropping links on related squidoo pages, so reviews, and rate other squidoo lenses. It will get other squidoo users' attention, driving up your lensrank as well as your traffic. Being well-linked within squidoo will give a nice google bump.
On squidoo i believe they only allow you to choose 3 keywords can you add more, or edit the existing ones?
This is what I do to get a LOT of traffic: 1. Add all 40 tags that Squidoo allows you to add. Check the lens with the most traffic in your niche and use all their tags. That way your page will show up on their related pages. You can get lots of 'inside' traffic. 2. Join all the groups you can. Join ones targeted to your lens, but also big ones, like 1 million lenses etc. You can find all of these on Squidoo. 3. Twitter! Join Twitter and start following loads of people in your niche. Find them by looking for users with WOW in their user names. Then use a tool like http://www.twubble.com to find more people to follow. You will find that many of these people follow you in return and you can add your URL to your twitter posts. 4. Bookmark your lens on Squidoo bookmarking sites like: http://www.lensroll.com http://www.squidom.com http://www.squidpedia.com http://www.isleofsquid.com http://www.squoogle.com 5. Use regular bookmarking sites like: http://www.mister-wong.com http://www.stumbleupon.com http://www.digg.com 6. Use a ping service such as http://www.pingler.com. This will get your lens indexed quicker. Good Luck!
ok ive added like , 40 tags now, would appreiciate it if some of you rated my squiddo and view it bump it up the rank up a bit, almost on top 100 for games!
Firstly, don't target the keywords that are too competitive, target for long tail keywords (max 20000).Backlinks, traffics, and ratings are all factors squidoo use to rank your lens.Try and get as many backlinks from fellow lens master and other places, believe me, its very easy to rank #1 in google with squidoo. I am also offering squidoo rating service over here http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1206321 Let me know if you want to try my service for free.
my one guide '' http://www.squidoo.com/TrueWowGuideReviews '' is now rated 54 in games, and over all like 700 thanks for your help but still its not appearing in google which sucks any tips on getting it appered in google?
get more involved with the squidoo community. Make friends, comment others lens without sounding spammy like "hey nice lens, check out this link" No no no. Join groups on squidoo that have relevant articles to yours. Do everyone that the others suggested above. There are so many ways to get traffic to squidoo. I wish it was simple as to putting a lens up and letting it catch fish. But, its more work. Another thing....links links links.
you really should just get all the long tail keywords in your niche, and then build a lens for each keyword, this way you are bound to dominate the smaller keywords, and get good SE rankings... Although you may not get that much traffic on each lens, if you have 50-100 of them, then you can build a nice amount of traffic and redirect it to your money site.
