Getting Tons Of Search Engine Traffic With Squidoo
This week we are going to introduce the concept of Web 2.0 marketing which is basically user generated content websites. One of these websites that you can sign up for is called Squidoo. It is very similar to blogging except they call it creating lenses which you fill up with information and content for visitors, and you can also monetize it with various ads from eBay, Amazon and Adsense which all earn you money from your Squidoo lens.
The search engines and especially Google are in love with Squidoo. You can easily rank in the first position for a long tail keyword with many monthly searches simply by setting up a Squidoo lens and filling it with relevant content. It is also possible to rank for more competitive search terms with lenses but you will need to optimize your lens better and get many backlinks to it by writing articles and pointing it to your Squidoo lens.
Once you sign up for a free Squidoo account, you can start creating lenses immediately. All you have to do is create a new lens, give it a name and choose a keyword for its location.
Here is an example of a Squidoo lens that I made for GDI:

Please fell free to comment on my guestbook and rate me.
As you can see it looks very much like a blog and you can add content weekly or monthly too it. The more content you add to your Squidoo lens, the better it will rank and the more traffic it will get.
Squidoo ranks all of its lenses by popularity and traffic which you can view in your members area. You can also add tags to your lens to increase traffic and visit other peoples lenses and comment on them linking back to your lens.
What you can do right now is start creating Squidoo lenses about Residual Wealth Factor and GDI. If you search around you can find other GDI lenses which you can get inspiration from to build your own. You can also do some keyword research and find long tail keywords with a decent amount of monthly searches to build additional lenses on. Just make sure they are related to things people would be searching for if they were looking to get involved with network marketing or mlm.
Once you build your Squidoo lens you will want to treat it like any other web site to drive traffic to it. Many of the ways of getting website traffic like article marketing and forum marketing work for Squidoo as well and also help increase your lens popularity when you start building links pointing back to your lens.
Squidoo also has groups you can join related to your niche where you can submit your lens and they also have a forum where you can start posting to get extra traffic.
Get out there and start making some lenses! Let the whole world know about your passions and interest.
