Using Squidoo to drive Traffic.

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.

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.

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.

As you can see you have alot of modules that you can add. They have other modules in the following categories Basic, New!, Money Makers, Plexo, Search A-Z, Some other Squidoo features

You can also make money using Squidoo. The money is generated from the modules you select along with adsense ads that are on the pages. You have the option of sharing your cut of the money with charity or keeping it all for 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.

To raise your ranking you can join Squidoo groups and send people to visit your site and rank it.

Squidoo has an Alexa Ranking of 487 which means that pages will be picked up by the search engines. So your page will most likely be picked up by the search engines.

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.
