Once you've built a great lens, you can't just let it sit there. If you do, you'll end up thinking, "Help! My Squidoo lens needs traffic!" Indeed it will if you're not actively working to bring traffic to it. Here are some useful ideas for getting Squidooers to visit your lens, love it, review it and remember you from it.
1.) Use social bookmarking. Social bookmarking allows users to save the links to websites, page and blogs that they like and want to remember for future use and share with others. You can use social bookmarking sites to share your Squidoo lenses with the world, and get more traffic.
2.) Squidoo Angel Blessings - If you go to the SquidU Angels Forum, you will find a place to post your lens and ask for a blessing from an angel. There are several Squidoo Angels, so if your lens is really good, you may get several blessings. This will help your Squidoo LensRank, which will in turn hopefully power up your PageRank.
3.) Use SEO, but use it wisely. Keyword stuffed and over-tagged lenses aren't going to get higher ranking and more traffic on Squidoo, and they may be rejected by search engines like Google. But do use keywords in your titles, tags and content - just make it natural.
4.) Update and refresh your lens often. A fresh lens gets noticed and gets more traffic.
5.) Link to your lens from your articles and blogs.
Boosting traffic isn't hard, but it takes some work and perseverance. When you're wondering, "What can I do to get more traffic for my Squidoo lens?" go back over these tips and freshen your lens.
