How To Use Tumblr For Free Automatic Backlinks For Your Squidoo Lenses

I just recently found out that you can setup a Tumblr blog to automatically post any new Squidoo lens you create or lens you update? Well, you can. I have done it and you can see it Here.

What you have to do is create a Tumblr account if you don’t have one, if you do have one create a new blog. Once you go through the process of naming your blog and the other stuff go to Squidoo and get your lensmaster RSS feed. You can get that by going to any of your lenses and clicking on the button that has the RSS on it. Another browser window will come up and you can copy the URL from the URL box at the top.

Go back to Tumblr and go to the blog you just created. You should be in your dashboard. From there click the “Customize” link in the sidebar. On the next page you want to click the “Services” link at the top of the page and then go down to the “Automatically import my...” section. In the first dropdown box you want it to say “RSS feed”, in the second dropdown you want it say “Links with summaries”. In the “Feed URL” box paste your lensmaster RSS feed URL. Click the “Start importing this feed” button and the next time you create or update one of your lenses it will post on your blog and bam you have a backlink.

I hope this post was helpful. If you have any questions leave a comment and I will try to help. Happy Squidoodling!
