How To Maximize Squidoo To Get Traffic

Welcome back!

What is Squidoo and how does it tie in with your network marketing business?

You see, in an age where 21st century online lead generation tools meet global network marketing prospecting, the need to create fast and beautiful review sites to express one’s opinion becomes critical – especially if you want to dominate the entire niche in your market.

Information is rapidly shared on the net and Squidoo is one of the best platforms to begin due to its robust nature and high authority leverage. Their primary function is to design a platform that is easy for anyone to use, free to register, and simple enough to set up a single page on a particular topic of interest.

The main benefit for network marketers is that they can do one of the following:
- Introduce themselves as a network marketing expert
- Let people know about the benefits of your network marketing product
- Spread the word and offer people an opportunity that they can make money

Squidoo lenses are also very good for generating other various sources of revenue for the lens creator that is shared with the owners of Squidoo as well.

In order to get a lens ranked on their search result pages, you must focus on writing single pages that highlight one person’s point of view, recommendations, or expertise. Do not try and hard sell too much. Your goal is to lead people to your main website by soft selling to your target market using a recommendation or review format.

There are certain terms and conditions however. If you want to get your website ranked and not trapped in the ‘work in progress’ sandbox, (In essence, there are certain criteria where your lens must meet in order to get approved) you must be able to do the following:

- Use pictures and populate your introduction and main body with relevant and useful content. You must not spam Squidoo because there are people

- Update your lens regularly because Google loves new and fresh content and so does Squidoo. If you do not update your lens, your lens will fall back into the WIP sandbox.

- Make sure you add relevant widgets like eBay, Amazon, table of contents and many other stuff that will enhance your lens.

- Always build links to your Squidoo lens. Squidoo has a way of blessing you with higher rankings if you give them link love (like social bookmark linking or other blog links). The key is to drive traffic and you will maximize your own Squidoo traffic as well when the ranking goes up.
