Anyone that's spent much time in the past years doing Internet marketing knows how valuable Squidoo is becoming as a tool for marketing online. In this article, we're discussing effective promotion methods for Squidoo lenses in order to get better targeted exposure for your lenses.
Writing and submitting articles to ezinearticles.com is one of the most efficient ways to promote your Squidoo lens because you will be including a link back to your lens in them. The articles you submit to this directory should be on the same subject but shouldn't be identical to your content. What you want to do is to get more traffic to your lens from these articles. Besides that, every article that you submit will also give you a unique backlink to your lens, which automatically increases the chances of getting high search engine rankings. You also need to make sure that your keyword research is effective for your articles as this will make it easier on you to rank highly in Google which will generate much more traffic for you.
Before the search engines throw any love your way, you're going to have to show them that your lens is on target for your niche.
If you create a "dog training" lens, for example, it will do no good to include information about gardening - it will only confuse visitors and may confuse search engines. The more targeted the content offered on your lens is, the more valuable it is to visitors. This also raises the odds of your lens receiving traffic via word of mouth and recommendations.
Word of mouth is yet another important and completely valid tool for promoting lenses. Give your audience something to talk about and tell their friends and they will. You have clearly seen from this article how you should be promoting your lens and how to get as many visitors as possible. Why shouldn't you take advantage of Squidoo too when so many internet marketers have used it successfully to generate new customers and leads and to stay in touch with their target market? Go ahead and start spreading the word about your lens.
