The Squidoo lens – An untapped gem




Did you know that the Squidoo lens is one the Internet’s most visited website? Squidoo has an Alexa ranking of 200, and there are more than 1.2 million lenses out there as we speak.
Now, these are numbers that we cannot scoff at. Many people have heard about Squidoo, and have maybe set up a lens or two which they have probably already abandoned. The reality is that the true power behind Squidoo lenses still eludes many.

All you have to know about a Squidoo lens is that it is mini website…kind of like the blogger platform, but on a whole different level. It is the community aspect of Squidoo that makes it so powerful. The mini site you are able to create once you join is more like a page on which you can write about anything you want. These pages are what you call lenses.

Google loves squidoo lenses. Check it out for yourself! Try typing a high traffic and high competition keyword, and you WILL eventually find a Squidoo lens in the search results.

By creating a squidoo page you already benefit from the love that google has for these kind of pages. Many savvy Internet marketers have thousands of squidoo lenses out there depending on the niche and product they are promoting. They do this because they know that Google’s spiders will crawl all over their pages, and bring them uncountable backlinks and traffic.

If you have a business or an opportunity that you are trying to promote, then consider a squidoo lens. It will be an additional (and significant) way of directing traffic to your product or service. The moment your page (lens) is picked up by the crawlers, your page will begin to appear in search results based on the keywords typed. You will be amazed at how many squidoo pages obtain incredible page rank.

There is no need to worry about Html or any techie stuff. Squidoo has got to be one of the easiest ways to create a mini website. There are some lenses that I have seen that are simply AMAZING. I mean, these guys have added Google Adsense, Amazon products, Ebay specials, as well as other affiliate products.

When creating a lens be sure to choose a name that is a keyword or close to one. This should not be underestimated as having the main keyword in the URL can catapult your lens to top page ranking.

You can use your lens to add video, audio and all kinds of “sticky” items so that your lens can become viral. Take the time to market it and put it everywhere you can. You can use as a signature in your e-mail or in your forum posts. Just be creative about it! If you can get it out there, you will be surprised at how fast these lenses can pull traffic. While you are doing this, you might as well set up a squeeze page somewhere on your lens to capture the flood of traffic that will coming your way.

So, there you have it. Squidoo is free, the lenses you create rank extremely well. So, armed with this information you should have yet another FREE tool to help you market your business.

So, what if you had a home business that payed you $1000 commission per sale without you having to convince anyone of buying the product, but simply having the system do the selling, telling and convincing for you, do you think you could make a six figure income? Don’t think that there is no work involved! THERE IS.
