30 Days to a Kick Ass Foundation: Day 6 – Squidoo
Friday, February 29th, 2008Squidoo should absolutely be part of your overall link building campaigns. Since they take all of 5 or 15 minutes to set up and you can put links in several places it’s an easy place to get some attention.
It’s also coming off a PR 8 site (squidoo.com) so it’s very easy to rank for the terms your going for.
Eric talks about squidoo quite often in the other98percent.com forum – and he is our main “squidoo” person on our team. He has several hundred lenses and makes affiliate sales everyday.
You can use squidoo to make money as an affiliate – but you should also be using it to send traffic and links to your foundation and white hat sites.
A winning lens has these things:
- At least 5 moduals activated.
- At least 20 (40 Allowed) tags.
- Belongs to a group or two.
- Has been submitted through Bookmarking Demon.
- Links to YOUR sites via direct links or through the rss modual.
That’s it guys – it only takes a few minutes to get your lens in the top few thousand for any topic, and you will start seeing traffic in just a day or so. Note: They are reviewing for spammy lenses – but it’s easy to make a ‘real’ lens in just a few minutes.
Come to the other98percent.com forums if you need a hand, or to find some buddies over there.

As a side note:
Since I’ve written this Squidoo has done some things like no-follow – etc… They aren’t quite the power house they were when I made the post.
I’m not saying they shouldn’t be part of your game plan – they can certainly have a place. However, it’s not an instant ticket anymore…. plan on building more links TO your lenses to make up for it.
