Internet marketers around the world are waking up to the fact that Squidoo is a powerful web 2.0 marketing system that lets them promote things and build their brands.
Succeeding on Squidoo requires more than slapping up a web page using their handy drag and drop widgets. To be successful, marketers are required to connect with other users at Squidoo, and start building up links to and from the lenses they create. Linking to the lenses from outside Squidoo is also important.
Squidoo marketing can be improved using 3 easy steps that boost website traffic and brand recognition. They are:
1. Use the forums at Squidoo. Squidoo calls the forums SquidU, but they still let you connect with other community members and create friendships. By becoming friendly with other lensmasters, you can get others to link to your lenses and bookmark them on their web 2.0 accounts. You can even get senior forum members called SquidAngels to come and bless your lenses, which always leads to good things, like higher rankings.
2. Squidoo also has groups - so join some, and create some. When you get involved in a group, your link can get listed their, and since the search engines love these group pages, you will get another link listed in search results, and this can lead to better lens ranking and more traffic.
3. Be active on other related Squidoo lenses - read their lens content, and post relevant useful comments with a link back to your lens. Don't just leave a "visit my lens" spam comment - be useful first, and then you can link back to your lens. If you feel the need to provide advice to the lensmaster, you might want to do that in private, rather than leave it where it might be misinterpreted.
There are buttons on every Squidoo lens that lets anyone bookmark a lens on the most popular social bookmarking websites, like Twitter, Digg, Stumbleupon, and others. One good idea is to bookmark the lenses that are related to yours and who get more traffic (higher rankings), and then leave a positive comment and a note about what you did. Then the lensmaster will often come to your lens and bookmark yours.
Effective Squidoo marketing teaches you the importance of working with others, and when you master that skill, you can succeed in life no matter where you go. So don't be afraid to lead in the acts of kindness, and watch how others reciprocate and help you out, which will really help to boost your rankings and income. Try seeing how far you can take your Squidoo earnings now that you know the main secrets.
