By being a part of the social marketing site, you will be able to network with other people who are interested in showcasing their expertise as well and that can drive traffic to your site.
One of the many advantages of using Squidoo to help you get noticed is that you can make sales calls to action and you won’t get banned from the site. Squidoo is crawled by the Google spider, so there are plenty of ways to use the power of Google to rank higher for your Squidoo lens and engage people through search engine dynamics.

What about Squidoo?
To learn how to maximize Squidoo’s attention-grabbing potential, you need to understand some of its features. The main feature of Squidoo is a lens, which consists of a single web page that is used to promote anything that interests you. You can use it to recommend products or services to other people. You can use it to promote yourself, a topic or your business. You can even earn royalties from the lenses you create.
Lenses
The lens is not only used to create sales copy, although many people use it this way. They are also to publicize things that interest you or that might interest other people. You can create up to 10 lenses a day on any topic you like. However, creating an eye-catching lens is something of an art form. You don’t want to make it seem too commercial, and you don’t want to spam with a lot of keywords, but you do want to use strategies that can drive traffic and convert it into sales later on.
When you’re writing a lens, the best way to think about what content to add is to think about the various topics you’re an expert on. Squidoo likes to remind people that they are like a cross between Friendster and Wikipedia. You want to be sociable, but you also want to convey interesting and accurate information to your lens readers. You want to reduce that theme so that it becomes a kind of brand. It must be very clear, it must have a niche and you must strive to make it interesting.

They can help you optimize your pages, create attractive profiles, and guide you on how best to use Squidoo for your particular topic. You are not only learning this way, but you are also networking. If you start creating online friendships with other Squidoo users, they may come to your lens and vote for it, which will increase your rankings. The more people notice and rate your lens, the more you become a magnet for people on the internet.
google ads
Your lens must be optimized for Google AdWords. You can choose any title you want for the lens and Squidoo will recommend a keyword for you, if it finds it in your title. Otherwise, you’ll want to do some research on your own before building the lens to make sure you’ve chosen some good keywords to include in your lens. You can do this through the Google AdWords Keyword Tool located here: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

Use one in the title and add the other three when requested.
Plexus Links
Squidoo has several modules that you can configure in the profile. There are a variety of Plexus modules that you can use with Squidoo. A plexus module allows people who visit your lens to see a list of the content you’ve chosen and vote on it. Chances are, if the plexus link list is really interesting, I’d come back to see if your options are ranked higher or lower, as other people vote for them too. This has the effect of getting you repeat traffic, which is the same as a lot more traffic, but with a brand awareness and loyalty factor thrown in.
Plexus links can be in a variety of formats. You can use a module for Plexus text, a list of links, content from Amazon, YouTube and Flickr. The Amazon Plexo module allows you to display more than five Amazon products on your lens, which you can’t do anywhere else on your profile. Interactive lists, like Plexus link lists, are a great way to grab attention and keep it.
Finally, another feature of Plexus link lists is that other Squidoo lens masters can hijack them into their own lenses. This gives you, the author, a specific link in someone else’s lens. If you build a Plexus link list that is very popular, you will have multiple links all over Squidoo. When that happens, you can drive a lot more traffic from people who view the list, identify the real author, and check out your lens to see the rest of what you have to say, since you are the expert.
