Squidoo for SEO

Using Squidoo is great for SEO. Squidoo is a website where you can sign up and create lenses. A lense is basically a place for rich content about anything. You can write about your website, your products or anything that comes to mind. It's a perfect tool for SEO. Within your lens you can use various ways to write such as lists, blocks of content or you can pull photos and place them in your lens.

This is a great place for you to create back links to your site, content or products. There are even ways to pull your blogs RSS feed within the lens.

Creating a lens for the first time can be a bit challenging. Learning the different terms for the different widgets and modules to write can be time consuming. Once you have a basic understanding of the concept, it becomes very quick to write some good content and create an award winning lens.

The reason I love Squidoo is that you can place so many great backlinks to your site or content from one lens. It will just take a few minutes and you can always add more at a later time!

Fresh Content Makes the World Wide Web Go Round

How long has it been since you have written something new on your website? Weeks, months, days? Googlebots thrive on fresh content and they will love your website more if they find something new there. Keep it fresh and keep it new.

Detailed product descriptions are great. Avoid using duplicate content if you wholesale or dropship from other vendors. Give their products your own description and details.

Add an article to your website. A simple article can do so much. It can give the bots new page and new content to crawl. It can also give new visitors a way to get to your site. If they like it enough, they may even give you a natural back link to your article from their site or blog. That's what makes the web go round.
