Do You Squidoo?

Are you Squidooing?

I have commented on the power of squidoo many times in my coolest guy on the planet blog. The search engine results are always dominated by Squidoo "lenses" as they call them.

Squidoo works much like a Blog. The result of "Purple Cow "Author Seth Godin's approach to blogging has resulted in a highly viral, social style of webspace.

Squidoo lenses have a stronger element of sharing than most blogs. Each one has links to other lenses by using "tags". It is essential when "squidooing" that you use your tags for search engine benefit.

You can use basic HTML codes for links, and the layout is very "WYSIWYG" (what you see is what you get).

Each lense has the ability to add modules such as Amazon, You Tube, Adsense etc….. The lense master shares in revenue from any sales made from these.

The word Lens implies focus. It is best to keep your lens as focussed as possible to get the right target visitor.

I just built this lens about how to build your own website. This lens has links to my other sites that are selling products.

In summary - If you have not yet had a play with Squidoo, make it a priority. You will get traffic and backlinks from your lenses with highly relevant traffic.
