There are several way to promote the squidoo lenses first of all social bookmarking of squidoo url , directory submission, article submission and lots of off page activity.

It is the high PR blog from where you can create your own blog and share the information about your product and services. But for better promotion there is required to share the relevant and useful information which should be helpful to the reader.

A term is using for seo named wheel linking. Make more lenses and interlink tem with each other and with your other posting sites on which you are working. It will create a bunch of related links and will give you more benefit.I have been working on this method for my site of ray ban sunglasses. I post blog postings, made lens and articles and create links among them. This method increase number of linking for these postings. Tagged content with related links help to increase the lens pr effectively.
First of all I recommend targeting terms with competitions under 20k in quotes. That way you do not need months to rank, it will be much easier. One of the main ways to rank is by blog commenting, find high PR links, preferrably heavy moderated blogs. That way if you make a very good comment it will stick, and also on these type of blogs, not only the page rank is high, but there will be much less other comments with links, thus reducing the OBL (outbound links) from that particular blog post. Another useful way to build up your rank is by doing profiles on various forums, here I recommend doing at least 10-20 Paul or Angela style profile links per week. You will notice a nice improvement in traffic soon. A third way, you could try adding 15-20 tags on your lens, related tags, try to find tags that are related to your lens but also have a few (the more the better) lenses with that tag. This way you will get traffic from other lenses as well.
