I get asked this all the time. How do I really make money online? What is my system? What are my secrets? I get asked this so much that I have been keeping a notepad next to me noting the various things I do each day. Yes, I make money from Squidoo, and I make some money from Associated Content. I also get checks from Clickbank, and Commission Junction….and I’m loving my AdSense checks lately =) …continue reading – How I Really Make Money Online

That darn Google! If Google won’t send traffic to your lens, it sure makes it difficult to have a successful and profitable Squidoo lens, doesn’t it? Y’all may remember Jackie Lee. Jackie sent me an email requesting my help for a Squidoo lens she was having issues with. Yahoo! loves her lens and sends it regular traffic. However, Google was not cooperating. While Google had her lens in its index, the lens was ranking for nothing in the search engine result pages. The only way to find Jackies lens was to do a direct search for her url. Even an EXACT search for her lens title was not returning HER lens.

I have added a new Squidoo lens pack available for purchase.  The new Squidoo lenses for sale are all well optimized for the search engines.  These lenses are also all inter-linked and in the same niche creating an effective little ‘mini-site’ within Squidoo.  This makes this Squidoo lens pack not only a valuable complement for those with a niche-related web site, but also good for stand-along affiliate marketing efforts.

Back in October, I began a niche marketing experiment using Squidoo and good keyword research to generate traffic to a niche blog. Between good keyword use and Squidoo lenses, I wanted to generate a profitable, organic niche marketing campaign. I wrote one article to also promote this effort.

In this Squidoo Lens Review, we have been talking about the lack of Google traffic that Jackie has noticed to her Cloth Diaper lens. Through our research in Part 1, we learned that Jackie’s Squidoo lens DOES see traffic from Yahoo! and other search engines, but as for Google… nada. In Part One, we isolated a big part of the problem was that Google already had two other Squidoo pages chosen for Jackie’s main keyword. …continue reading – Squidoo SEO – Why Doesnt Google Send Traffic to My Squidoo Lens? Part 2

SEO optimizing a page on Squidoo is a bit of a double-edged sword. On one hand, we Squidoo lensmasters want to create a Squidoo lens that is an awesome experience for our visitors. After all, THAT is what Squidoo is all about, right? On the other hand, if we don’t use some solid Squidoo SEO practices, ain’t no search engine gonna send any visitors TO our Squidoo lens to admire our work! While creating fantastic Squidoo pages built around your passion is admirable, the bottom line is this – if you don’t SEO optimize your work, no one will see it. You will be cheating yourself of visitors to your lens, and the Squidoo site will lose out on valuable traffic. SEO optimization of a Squidoo lens is a win/win.

Just the other day, I posted about Squidoo No-No’s – things that are against Squidoos terms of service that can cause your lens to be locked….or at least tossed into the SquidDon’t Filter. I always minded Squidoo’s TOS so it never, ever crossed my mind that it could happen to me.

The online community has become increasingly aware that if your web site does not have at least one Squidoo lens promoting it, you are missing out. From the real estate market, to eBay sellers, Squidoo is bringing everyone additional traffic, quality back links, and more exposure in the search engines.

After my last post about LaunchTags, I took off to the site to sign up for LaunchTags and make my own mini-page. LaunchTags appeared to have some potential, even in its early beta stage so I thought it was worth a shot to see what all we could find out. Also, Google seems to be taking a liking to these Squidoo-like pages. Squidoo is an excellent online business model in the user-generated content market. It’s not surprising that we’d see many Squidoo clones popping up….with many more to come. …continue reading – LaunchTags Review | Smells Like Squid to Me
