How to Make Sure Your Squidoo Lens Ranks Higher

We suggest you ignore anyone who says it is not possible to develop a Squidoo lens, and then proceed to get it onto page one of Google. Follow along in this mini-tutorial and discover a few solid steps that will serve you well with ranking your Squidoo lens.


One thing you need to get is traffic, and to that end we want to discuss what is possible with social bookmarking sites. This is no different than working to get this type of traffic to any other type of site, and you need to be careful about how you go about doing it. All the major sites are pretty smart about detecting certain things, so be forewarned about the dangers of trying to be underhanded. Be ethical in your approach and use sites like Digg, Delicious, Reddit, etc, to zoom past your competition. This not only helps you get some good ranking, but also makes it easy for you to build a few high quality backlinks; your lens will get indexed faster. Just like you would link to external sites on a blog or website, you should do the same on your lens. What can you get out of linking to other lenses? Well, for one it helps you build up a strong reputation on Squidoo and it makes it easy for you to grow your network.


Not only that, but you will also get some reciprocal links and help you grow your trust factor. We have only provided an introduction along with several solid applications utilizing the principles of make money online. If there was ever something overlooked by so many small online business owners it is their mental game. If you stay in your business long enough and pay attention to your self, you will realize how much of an important part your daily thoughts have on how you perform in business. Most people who will read this are probably not seeing the results they want, and there is a good chance that includes you. If your business history is not impressive, then make the decision to do something about it and start investigating how to improve your beliefs. It is our belief that we create our conditions after a certain point in life, and we can learn to make more informed decisions.


Some people only use lenses for backlinking purposes, but you can get decent targeted traffic if you can rank your lens. However, if you choose to go for a broad niche to create your lens, you'll face stiff competition and things won't be so easy. If you choose the wrong phrase, in terms of level of difficulty, then you will most likely not be able to get decent rankings. You do want to avoid the really broad search phrase as that will pretty be impossible to do anything with. You can find unique content and ideas if you take advantage of news items and trends, but of course it really just depends on your niche. One analogy is having a smaller but more targeted email list is more profitable than a much larger list that is less targeted; it is the same principle involved.


Take a look at something that a lot of people never think about or even do, and this is really something unique and interesting. If you notice you'll see that controversial topics tend to make it to the top of Squidoo, topics that are off the wall but a little controversial in nature. How far you want to take this is entirely up to you, so it just depends on what you have the stomach for in this regard. See what you can talk about or find that is right in step with a subject you have written about or can fit into your lens. It all depends on the theme of your lens, but you never know what you can find or come up with.


Remember, every step that you take to make your lens popular counts, and goes a long way.
