Add Your Keyword To The Comment Module Of Your Squidoo Lenses

On page optimization is very important for getting targeted traffic to your lenses and to make money with Squidoo. One thing you want to do is to get your main keyword or phrase on your lens enough so that search engines see your lens as relative to that keyword without over doing it.

I’m sure you are already putting your keyword in your write modules and maybe even in your product modules, but another strategic place to add your keyword is in the comment module. I see a lot of lenses where in the comment module the lensmaster simply ask the viewers to leave a comment letting them know what they thought of the lens.

I always make sure that I have my keyword either in the Title or subtitle of the comment module not both and in the content section. This adds to the relevancy of my lens.

Give this a try on your lenses. I hope this was helpful, let me know. Happy Squidoodling!

Use Your Own Blog For Backlinks To Your Squidoo Lenses

One of the easiest ways to get backlinks to your Squidoo lenses is to put them on your blog or website. You can put your links in the sidebar, in your posts or as a header or footer. The best thing about putting the links in the sidebar, header or footer is that you have the links on every new post page you create, which gives you even more backlinks.

I have the links for my lenses in the footer of this blog. If you scroll to the bottom of this page you can see them there. All have to do is just others as I create them.

Use Facebook Pages For Backlinks To Your Squidoo Lenses

Here is an idea I recently thought of to get a quality to your Squidoo lenses. Create a Facebook page that just lists them, here is the one I create. Now all have to do is add my lenses as I create them and I have another backlink.

Try making your own page for your lenses. All you have to do is add a lens address on the wall of your Facebook page and Facebook will add some content from your lens. Doesn’t get too much easier then that.

If you decide to try this leave me a comment with a link to your page and I will check it out. Happy Squidoodling!

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!

Using Best Reviewer To Get Free Backlinks To Your Squidoo Lenses

Best Reviewer is a relatively new site, but it has grown a lot. It is owned by the same person that owes She Told Me. Both are not only great resources for getting quality backlinks to Squidoo lenses, but also a nice way of making a little extra money through their Adsense revenue sharing program.

Best Reviewer is like a “Tops” site where you can make a list of the top whatever. So say you have five lenses on a certain subject, say dessert recipes. One pies, one cakes one on puddings, one on cheesecakes and one on tarts, you can make list of the top 5 dessert recipes and add links back to your lenses for each item. Once you have posted your list you are given an opportunity to post it on She Told Me giving you more backlink juice.

If you’re not a member go ahead join both Best Reviewer and She Told Me. As an extra note, you can also make a list of products with your affiliate links, which gives you a chance to sell products and make money.

My Strategy For Making More Lenses And Make Money With Squidoo

My new strategy is to do several outlines for different lenses before I actually create the lenses and that way I not thinking about the design of the lens and when I'm ready to create the lens I just copy the content from the outline into write modules and then just add product modules and whatever other modules I think the lens needs.

I think this will allow me to create more lenses faster. As I create the lenses I will do a little promoting and back linking and come later to do more for the ones that show potential. The rest of this week I will be posting some back linking ideas that you can use to help drive your lenses up the search engines.

Below is an outline I created for creating Squidoo Lenses and HubPages. At top is where I put the title of the lens. Where you see module one, two and three is where I write the title of that module. Where the subtitle is--- well, I guess that’s self-explanatory. Below I just write in the content. This has helped me a lot in preparing to create my lenses.

My Amazon Sells On Squidoo This Weekend

This weekend I had some Amazon sells on one of my Valentine lenses. The thing is it was none of the items I have on the lenses. As a matter of fact the sells had nothing to do with Valentine at all. Here is the items that sold.

Arm & Hammer Disposable Pet Waste Bags Refills
2 Table Hockey Mallets, 2 Oct, 1 Tri, 1 Rnd Air Pucks
Sportcraft 7-Foot Turbo Hockey Table Cover
Thera-Band Comfort Fit Ankle/Wrist Cuff Weight Sets

Strange huh? This makes the point that I talk about in my post Make Money With Squidoo And Amazon A Killer Combo. Amazon and Squidoo work well together. If you create a lens and add Amazon products to it you give yourself the chance to make some money.

Your goal here is to get people to go to Amazon through your affiliate link or an Amazon module. Once they are there they may not buy the product that got them there, but if they buy anything at all you make money. The good thing is you can make as many Squidoo lenses as you want. The more lenses you make the more potential chances you have to make some dough.

If you want to make money with Squidoo, but are not a member yet Here's The Link To Join. Now you don't have to be an Amazon affiliate to earn money with Amazon, you can just use the Amazon modules. However, you will earn more money using your own affiliate link. So if you want to be an affiliate Here's The Link To Join.

Make A Plan To Make Money With Squidoo

To make money with Squidoo you must have a plan and stick with it. What you should do is look at what successful Squidoodlers are doing and adapt what they are doing to your plan. One of the main plans I follow is the One Week Marketing plan, but I have also added to that from other people I have learned from.

So you see I’m not saying get a plan and just do that plan. I’m saying get something to start with and take action and as you learn more you can add to it. Heck you can even replace it all together if you hit upon something that works better for you. But you will absolutely get nowhere jump from one thing to another to another.

Get a plan, seriously work that plan and if it doesn’t work for you move on. If it does work for you keep doing it and add to it if you feel like it, but do be serious and take action.

Let me know what you thought of this post good or bad. Happy Squidoodling!

Spying On Your Competition For Backlinks

In order to make money with Squidoo you have to have visitors and the best visitors you can have is targeted visitors. Targeted visitors are those visitors that are laser focused on the subject you are presenting. The way to those laser focused visitors is through the search engines.

Visitors that come from search engines are people that wrote in what they were interested in and was directed to your lens because the search engine felt it was one of the pages that were relevant to the search. So the higher you lens is for a certain search result the targeted visitors you are going to get.

One of the best ways to raise your lens to the top of the search engines is by getting good quality one way backlinks. One way to find good quality one way backlinks is by spying on your competition for backlinks. Check the top 10 of your competitors and see who is linking to them and see if you can get some of those backlinks.

To see who is linking to your competitors go to Yahoo’s Site Explorer and put in the address of the site or lens you want to spy on and click the “Explore URL” button.

You will then see the page below. Click the “Inlinks” button.

You will then see the page below. Click the pull down menu and select “Except from this domain” and that will give you the backlinks outside of that sites domain.

Now you can just through and check out those backlinks.
