Build Your List Using Squidoo

By: Glen Barnhardt I know your asking what is Squidoo. In this article you are going to learn what squidoo is and how to use it to drive traffic to your site.

Squidoo is a website that was founded by Seth Godin in October of 2005. Seth is an avid Blogger, Speaker and Author. Now one of the top 500 tracked websites by Alexa for traffic it is a network of user generated pages called lenses.

Lenses can give your point of view, recommendations or expertise on any subject.

Generating Traffic using Squidoo.

You will need to take the following steps:

Signup for Squidoo. Design your lense. Build your site link.

To Create your Squidoo Account you will go to http://www.squidoo.com. Click on the signup button at the top.

Once you have signed up you will need to design your page. Using the squidoo modules you will be able to simply create the page. The Basic modules are Ebay, Del.ico.us bookmarks, Flickr photos, Guest Book, Google Blog Search, Link List, RSS, Text/Write, Orbitz, Text list, and You Tube Videos.

Some of the other modules are contained in other categories like New!, Plexo, Search A-Z and Money.

Squidoo has a very nice revenue sharing module. Your site modules and adsense ads will generate money and you can contribute that to charity, take it all for yourself or split it between charity and yourself.

I read that if you contribute to charity your rankings will be better but I haven't tested that. I'm not really using the site to make money anyway so I just contribute to charity. I'm using it to drive traffic so we won't talk any more about making money on Squidoo.

To get the link back to your site you can use the write module or include it in your introduction. You might think about using a free report to draw them to click.

When your all done your lense will look similar to the one I setup. While you're taking a look why not rank my squidoo page. You do this by clicking on the stars that say your rank. 5 stars is the best. If you think the information I have given you here has helped you I would greatly appreciate if you would reciprocate by giving me a good ranking.

You will see that this ranking system is how you can get your site viewed more. The better your site ranking the higher you get listed in the squidoo search system.

You can raise this ranking by sending people to come and rank your lense just as I have asked you to rank mine. Also you can join groups within the squidoo system to help promote your lense.

As of the writing of this article squidoo has an Alexa Rank of 487. With that you can be assured that your page on squidoo will be picked up by the search engines which in turn will bring you some organic traffic as well.

Thank you for reading my article on driving traffic using Squidoo.
