Promote Your Website With a Squidoo Lens
This blog entry was posted on October 12, 2009.
Are you looking for ways to bring more visitors to your website? You can add your own pages to a popular website called Squidoo. According to Alexa, squidoo.com is ranked as the 336th most popular website in the world. You can add a page to this website about most any topic for free.
Squidoo is a user-generated website. It is a collection of organized information put up by users from all over the web much like Wikipedia. The difference is that only you can update and change your web page or lens as Squidoo calls it.
Each page that you create on Squidoo must be focused on a single subject. Squidoo calls the web pages you create a “lens” because of this focus. Each person who builds a lens is called a “lensmaster.”
Why build a lens? Building a lens allows you to build up your authority as an expert on a topic. On your lens you can include links back to your website which readers will follow to learn more. Search engines give importance to these links so they will help your website rankings. It is easy to do and it’s free. You can even generate income by getting paid for the traffic being generated by your lens or donate your earnings to charity.
Can you write about anything? No, they work hard to exclude spammers and to include the best quality content. They do want to include a wide variety of ideas, viewpoints and passions. They developed their SquidDon’t list of forbidden junk topics. This includes pharmaceuticals (Viagra and diet pills), scammy medical cures, gambling, credit card debt relief, ringtones and illegal and topics. These are the topics that generate nuisance spam emails.
If you spend time searching through the million plus pages on Squidoo, you will find many great sources of information and ideas.

I love Squidoo and the things you can do on the site. It’s more than just linking back to your website(s) – and using Squidoo as a traffic funnel – but you can also recommend products on your lenses and make money in the process. Also I love how easy it is to build lenses.
I’m in the process of building a portfolio of interesting lenses, after being introduced to Squidoo from an online internet marketing course that I’m doing at the moment.
