Squidoo Lenses & Traffic

If you have never heard of Squidoo then you have been sat in the wrong office for the last 2 years. This is a tool built by Seth Godin, and is perfect for sending good quality targeted traffic to your website or blog.

Squidoo is one of the most popluar social networking sites on the web...but it’s potential lies in what you do with it, and how you do it more than anything else.

The term social networking might sound new to you, but I guarantee the concept isn’t. Take a look at Facebook or Myspace for Social Networking.

• Facebook
• MySpace

Myspace and Facebook rank sixth and seventh.

You won’t find Squidoo in the top 10. But it’s Alexa rank is currently 698. That means it’s the 698th most popular website online.

Take a look at yours to see how they compare. If you can get a website under the million mark you are doing okay and should have PR rank from Google.

If you can get it in the top 100,000 you should have a PR rank of around 4. This is no mean feat and means your website is quite popular.

What counts is the popularity of your website.Get it right and put the correct content on it and google will reward you with higher rankings. Leave it to rot, and get no visitors and they will cast it onto the scrap heap.

Using Squidoo is a great way of getting traffic and one way links to your website, and even more important, to individual pages on your websites.

It is a great tool for building lenses that you can then point to any page on your site. As you improve this lense Squidoo will reward you, as well as google by giving you higher rankings.

You’ll reap all the Google SEO goodness from those links within days. If you write a good lense google will give you first page rankings on almost any keywords to see how well it does. It may not last, but it is well worth the rewards.

You will also get some excellent organic traffic from those links. People will be interested in what you have written, and will take a look at your links to see what is at the other end.

Best of all, it won’t cost you any money. Yep, Squidoo is completely free.

However don’t waste your time trying to “market” anything on Myspace or Facebook. You will need to build up your reputation within the community before you bang away about your website here.

Get your friends running and make yourself known before you think about trying to sell any products.

Take a look at Twitter and get up and running with this as well. Start posting good content on twitter and people will join you. Get a couple of hundred followers and others will also come and see what the stuff is that you are writing about.

Google and Squidoo are made for each other. Squidoo will let you promote whatever you want. They don’t slap a bunch of silly rules
on you, and you don’t have to worry about somebody getting upset that you’re trying to sell something.

Start first with Squidoo when you start your social bookmarking. Join all of the others and get listed, but Squidoo is the number one choice to get noticed.
