I read somewhere that the main thing in getting your Squidoo lens into the top 100 is traffic, so I was thinking about ways to promote Squidoo lens'. There is already a Squidoo Reddit clone but you can't submit stories so I went to Mixx and grabbed Squidoo.Mixx.com. Non of my Squidoo lens' have really been popular (Hence me trying to find a way to promote them) so how can I promote the Squidoo Mixx community?
get lots of links and you will reank well organically, pushing you up in the search engines and getting you more traffic.
That's a common problem on a lot of social sites - everyone's contributing, but no one's participating. (I'm guilty of it myself, but I'm trying to be more involved)
