Do You Squidoo

Hi Nichers,

Do you Squidoo? If not, you should be. It takes very little
effort and the publicity and money you can make from it
make it well worth your time.

Some people call Squidoo Web 2.0 while others call it a
Social Networking Site. Whatever you might want to call it,
it was created a few years ago by marketing genius Seth
Godin. Since that time many people have taken advantage of
the site to help their Internet Marketing businesses and
many other types of ventures.

It's really very easy to set-up a Squidoo lens. All you
have to do is go to Squidoo.com and sign-up. Then you can
start creating a lens right away.

You can create a lens on any topic of your choice. You can
create it all about you or you can create the lens about a
product or service of yours. It's completely up to you.
Just be careful. You have to put good content on each one
of your lenses or your pages might be seen as SPAM and then
you?ll probably get kicked off Squidoo.

For the ins and outs on how to create great looking lenses
you can just search how to do basic html. There are a few
great lenses that will show you exactly how to change the
look of your lens. Or if you already know how to do basic
html then you?re all set.

Some people spend a lot of time working on their Squidoo
lens(es). These people (called lens masters) might try to
get a high ranking on Squidoo and a high ranking on Google
and other search engines. If you want to do this then you
are certainly welcome to do so. Just know that right now
Squidoo is once again favored by Google but a few months
ago all the Spam content on Squidoo caused lenses to
dramatically drop in ranking. However, this probably won't
happen again.

The one key you want to follow is to include an important
keyword in the title of your lens and then in the modules
within in the lens. This will let the search engine spiders
find your lens and rank it according to the keyword /
keyword phrase.

You can also visit other people's lenses and leave comments
for them and rank their lens. Then hopefully they'll see
you left a comment and they'll visit your lens. This will
help you in the rankings on Squidoo.

Lastly, update your lens at least once a week and
preferably every other day. You don?t have to make any
major changes but you should change something just to keep
your lens fresh.

There are many great reports and books on the market that
will help you succeed using Squidoo. But just having a lens
or two will give you one more spot where you are marketing
yourself and/or your products. And you can never have
enough marketing opportunities.

So from now one when anyone asks you, "Do you Squidoo?" You
better be able to answer, 'Yes.'
