Using Squidoo to drive Traffic.

So what is Squidoo. Keep reading and you will learn how to drive traffic to your site using Squidoo.

In October of 2005 Author, Speaker and Blogger Seth Godin founded Squidoo. Squidoo is a network of user generated pages which they call lenses. Currently one of the top 500 sites that are closely tracked by Alexa.

Lenses contain your ideas, expertise, views and recommendations on just about any topic.

Generating Traffic using Squidoo.

Here are the steps:

Setup a Squidoo Account. Create your lense. Add a link to your squeeze page.

Go here to signup for your squidoo account http://www.squidoo.com then choose the signup link at the top.

Squidoo is a very modular system you can add all sorts of modules to your lense. As defined earlier your lense is simply your page on squidoo. Some of the basic modules that are available are Amazon, Del.icio.us bookmarks, Ebay, Flickr Photos, Google Blog Search, Guest Book, Link List, Orbitz! , RSS : Add your own feed, Text/Write Module, Text List, You Tube Videos

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

Squidoo is very different from other sites as you will get to share in the money made from adsense or any of the modules you setup on your lense. You can give your share to charity, split it and give a portion to charity and a portion to youself, or keep it all for yourself.

I haven't tested it but I read that if you share your money with charity you will get a better ranking. We are not really building the page for money but rather to drive traffic so we will continue on.

Now to get your link on the squidoo site you will want to add the Text/Write module or you can add it to your introduction page. It's a good idea to have something to offer. Like a free report.

Now would be a good idea to take a look at how a page looks. While your browsing my page how about giving it a quick rank by clicking on the stars at the top. This ranking system is how you will get your site ranked higher and get more traffic. 5 stars is the best.

You will want more traffic and using the ranking will get your page ranked higher and your listing shown more.

To get a better ranking just send people to rank your site. Another method is to become active in the squidoo groups.

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.

Once again thank you for reading my Traffic Series. In part four of my Traffic Series I will talk about PayPerClick advertising and places where you can purchase clicks for one cent.
