Squidoo Marketing is reaching new heights, now that Internet marketers around the world are realizing how easy it is to promote things on the site while building strong brands and reputations.
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. Be active on the Squidoo forums. The forums let you meet and chat with other Squidoo lensmasters, and by being nice and helpful, you can build up a network of other users who help you build your rankings for your lenses, and even bookmark your pages on other social bookmarking sites. You can even befriend advanced forum members called Squid Angels, and have them bless your web pages, and get yourself higher rankings and more traffic.
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. Find related Squidoo lenses, and read their content and post valuable comments along with your lens link. Just be sure to add a valuable comment and not just a spammy “visit my lens” request. Never leave negative comments, or “constructive criticism”…this is better communicated in private.
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.
