How To Get Traffic With A FREE Squidoo Account

Squidoo is one of those excellent sites out there that is making it easier for people to get the information in their heads out there and published in the real-world.  You see, you could (and DO) have mountains of information in your head about a subject, probably your hobby, that you COULD share with the world (or at least anybody with a computer and internet connection).

The other good thing is that once you have put some of your information out there (on Squidoo), you can then get interested people to come and have a look at YOUR website.  It’s then up to you and your site to convert them into customers, or at least, into regular readers. The more “website properties” you own (or at least that you control) the more links you can put on them pointing to YOUR money website.

Lenses

In Squidoo, you can create what they call ‘lenses’.  These are nothing more than insights that YOU write about a subject…………ANY subject.  It’s called a lens because it’s your FOCUS on a subject.  So, as an internet marketer, you can create your lens about marketing and making money online.  If you are familiar with email-marketing, you can have a lens about email marketing.

Short Posts But Keyword Rich

You don’t have to write much, somewhere between 500 and 1000 words.  Then, if someone finds your ‘lens’ by using Squidoo’s search-box, they can click to open and read your stuff and then, if they liked it and learned something of value, they might go and take a look at your website.

Squidoo is FREE but they still manage to contribute to CHARITIES.  Which charities?  YOU can choose where the money goes!  Huh? Yep,  what they do is this: when you sign-up for an account, YOU choose which charity gets 50% of any money that the ads on your lens-page generates.  So if you have a popular lens, they’re going to get more click on their Google (and other) ads.  They keep half and donate the other half to the charity of  your choice.

Squidoo Is Highly Ranked

They currently ranke #218in Alexa and have a Google page rank of 7, which is very good by any standards.  They make their money from ads and affiliate links, so they don’t need your money. They are simply using your CONTENT, so that they don’t have to create any content.  And, as you know, CONTENT is king! It’s what brings people TO a website.

I strongly urge you to get an account for yourself and put some content onto a lens about YOUR website’s content.

Give it a whirl and see if you like using it.  If nothing else, it will drive some people to your money websites or your blogs.
